Miracles happen!
Vibe magazine originally shut down in June when its previous owners couldn’t find new buyers or a way to get rid of their debt.
But, now, the hip-hop/r&b mag will soon make its comeback.
The magazine was purchased this month by a group led by a private equity fund, InterMedia Partners.
And, to bring the mag back, they’ve chosen Jermain Hall as its editor in chief of Vibe and for its website. Previously, Hall was editor in chief at King and was also music editor for The Source, a rap music magazine.
According to Brett Wright, the co-chief executive of the Vibe Lifestyle Network, Vibe’s website would provide info on urban music and entertainment on a ├óΓé¼┼ôregular, daily, hourly, by-minute basis├óΓé¼┬¥ while the print mag would focus on more inestigative style pieces.
The first issue of the new mag is planned to be released in November.
