New York’s Gawker.com has confirmed that VIBE magazine has been the latest print magazine to close its doors.
Founded in 1993 by music and entertainment mogul, Quincy Jones, VIBE was perceived in the industry, by many, as “the black Rolling Stone.” At its peak, the periodical reportedly boasted a circulation of over 800,000. Famous covers included Eminem, Suge Knight, Barack Obama and more.
