Quincy made Vibe? Wow.
Rest in Peace Vibe Magazine! You will be missed
Here is their problems. I am an aspiring writer, hence the blog and this post. But here is what I have noticed is making them fold. Too much money on pictures, bad cover people, titling articles badly, being too risky on the covers to the point Maxim disses them in their magazine and online. Yes, I did read their diss, thirdly bad investments that have made Forbes and other magazines and online, and have lead the magazine downhill big time.
I realize they were trying to save it, but also, not hiring freelance writers that would take half or less to do articles that the editors and board of the magazine should’ve considered, reguardless of a college degree, that could’ve save the magazine and help a growing group of people pursing it, at least where I live and where the magazine is made.
