RIP Vibe Magazine
As seems to be the norm recently in print media, another well-known and respected music publication has folded. Vibe closed its doors abruptly today, notifying the staff this morning, and immediately halting work on a Michael Jackson tribute issue. Unfortunately it appears the current issue on newstands will be the magazine’s last.
As internet music sites spread like weeds, with content updated faster, and often times more in tune with their readers interests, it has been hard for print to compete. Vibe was a great magazine that covered Hip-Hop and its crossover into the Pop realm intelligently and thoughtfully. It will be missed.
Vibe is survived in the print Hip-Hop world by The Source and XXL. Rolling Stone and Spin still handle pop.
