Another "Vibe" Shutting Down

Post by jake75 »

In today's paper- "Vibe" the hip-hop and urban-culture magazine founded by Producer Quincy Jones is shutting down due to a decline in advertising revenue. Most of the company's 50 employees will be laid off. Vibe was founded in 1993 and had a paid circulation of 800,000 during the last 6 months of 2008.
