JET
Originally billed “The Weekly Negro News,” JET magazine has been in Black homes across the country for more than 60 years. Founded by John H. Johnson of Johnson Publishing Company in 1951, the magazine first garnered attention by covering the Civil Rights movement. The publication began to cover fashion and beauty tips, entertainment news, dating advice, political coverage, health tips and offered diet guides. Redd Foxx once called JET the ‘Negro bible” but it was recently announced that JET will no longer publish issues at the end of June and will continue on as a digital magazine app.
