The "Journal of Ebony Thought" (JET) |
Long before "People", "Us" and other magazines, Jet was the *best* way to find out what was "happenin'" in the Afrikan community. It remains so. Despite the internet and other news sources, I still find *something* in Jet *every week* that tells me something about my community which major (read white) media overlook.
It's simply the best and only gets better! |

Good but time for some changes |
| I have enjoyed Jet magazine since I was 7 years it. It was a magazine that my family subscribed to and the first magazine I read on a regular basis. Now I am an adult and I still subscribe to Jet but I have noticed that my Jet magazines don't seem to have the kind of substance that make me want to read them more than once or even keep them past one read. The Johnny Cochran Memorial issue was the best issue of Jet in a long time. The cover stories are often about current films or entertainment stars. A recent cover was devoted to the movie "Crash," another cover devoted to Halle Berry's quest to have a child. Jet does still have that "magazine for the community" feel but I do think that it needs some new features and maybe cut down on some of the regular features. I am very proud to see African-American's living past 100, but I don't want to see a Centurian in every issue. I love that we celebrate our weddings and anniversaries but I think this could be cut to 1-2 pages tops. I know Jet might consider themselves going the high road but I really would like to see more current entertainment news verses just well planned feature stories about the current "it" movie or artist. Since it's a weekly mag, I would like to say I count on Jet for current information. I would also like to see them devote more page space to African-American books and plays. I think you can't be Jet for the price but the magazine doesn't do as much for me as Sister 2 Sister or Upscale. |
