EBONY & JET MAGAZINES ARE ON THE VERGE OF FINANCIAL COLLAPSE

EBONY & JET MAGAZINES ARE ON THE VERGE OF FINANCIAL COLLAPSE
 
Two of the most notable permanent fixtures in every black household over the years were Ebony and Jet magazines.
 
If you wanted to learn about your history, the plight of black America, current issues facing us, how the political process of America affects us, how politics works, who the fastest rising actors are, successful black television shows, who was recently married, which cities had black mayors, police chiefs, school superintendents, how to register to vote, which cars offer the best value, how to apply for college scholarships, etc, More likely than not, either Ebony or Jet provided answers to those questions.
 
We have recently been informed that Johnson Publishing Company is currently going through a financial crisis.
The company is attempting a re-organization.  Many JPC employees have already lost their jobs with a company that has employed thousands of black Americans during the course of its existence.
In order to support this effort to save OUR magazine, my friends and myself have pledged to get a subscription to both Ebony and Jet magazine, starting with one year. We are urging EVERY everyone who comes across this plea, to do the same. Please post on any blog that you may own, or support. Please email this to all you know. Let them know that Ebony and Jet magazines have been part of black American culture for 3 quarters of a century.
How about throwing a subscription party where people can sign up for their subscriptions on the spot.  Please share this idea with all you know - sororities, fraternities, lodges, VFW posts, churches, civic groups, block clubs, etc.
It would be a shame to lose our historic magazine during the same year of such an historic event as the election of our first African-American President.
