Magazines are going away, just as the actual news on tv is. I'm a phone/blackberry/internet junkie. By the time stuff has hit the news or I get a magazine, that stuff aint news no more. If anything Vibe should maybe become all online or maybe distrbuite less copies or something, not go completly away. It's nice to have hard copies of anything because in 10 years you can go back and look at it.

It's sad because VIBE "USED" to be the sh*t, but when your magazine becomes 60% ads it's time to throw in the towel...

Truly a sad day, I been rocking with VIBE for a minute. I guess this is the era of the internet. First magazines, next newspapers, then books?

The way of communication is changing. Maybe they should consider going global on the web. Vibe Magazine has bought us so much in terms of the 411 on the hip hop community.

Complete Speaks: God has made it possible for all to communicate. I choose to use music and the web to communicate the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Somebody, somewhere, will hear it.

Its weird to know that. They're a classic magazine with their own style. I dont know of another magazine that can do what they do.

Black Web 2.0 Just did an audio interview with Vibe's Danyel Smith, and interestingly enough she argued that print wasn't dead, it was just "challenged". Were those young whipper snappers at Black Web 2.0 right? You be the judge. <a href="http://bit.ly/5xbSf">http://bit.ly/5xbSf</a>

I really don't think it has much to do with the net nope dedication surpasses the net I was a true vibe subscriber since Quincy and it changed it turned from good articles to raunchy ads THAT IS NOT HIP HOP AND VIBE WAS HIP HOP upscale I felt and yes ads are necessary for publication but the articles got skinny and the ads got fat so me and I am sure that others that wanted to read did not want to pay to see ads that is what ended that use to be wonderful HIP HOP MAGAZINE!!!.
