6. Vibe Information!
Vibe is a music and entertainment magazine founded by producer Quincy Jones. The
publication predominantly features R&B and hip-hop music artists, actors and other
entertainers. After shutting down production in Summer 2009, Vibe was purchased by
the private equity investment fund InterMedia Partners and is now issued quarterly with
double covers, with a larger online presence, aided by the Vibe LifeStyle Network, a
group of entertainment/music websites under the Vibe brand. The magazine's target
demographic is predominantly young, urban followers of hip-hop culture.
The magazine owed its success to featuring a broader range of interests than its closest
competitors The Source and XXL which focus more narrowly on rap music, or the rock &
pop-centric Rolling Stone and Spin. As of 2007, Vibe had a circulation of approximately
800,000. Advertisers ran the gamut from record labels to fashion houses to various
cognac brands.
