Jet (styled JET) is an American weekly marketed toward African-American readers, founded in 1951 by John H. Johnson of Johnson Publishing Company in Chicago, Illinois.[2] Initially billed as "The Weekly Negro News Magazine", Jet is notable for its role in chronicling the early days of the American Civil Rights movement from its earliest years, including coverage of the Emmett Till murder, the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and Martin Luther King, Jr.
Still published in small digest sized format, the magazine printed in all or mostly black-and-white until its 27 December 1999 issue. In 2009, Jet's publishing format was changed; it is now published every week with a double issue published once each month.
Founder
The magazine was founded by John H. Johnson in 1951.
Content
Jet magazine contains information on various topics, including fashion and beauty tips, entertainment news, dating advice, political coverage, health tips and diet guides. Jet magazine also covers events such as fashion shows. The publishing displays the picture in the magazines too. The cover photo usually corresponds to the focus of the main story. Some examples of cover stories might be a celebrity's wedding, a holiday like Mother's Day, or a recognition of the achievements of a notable African American. Many of them are given the cover to show the African American community that if they want to reach a goal that they have to be willing to work for it. It also gives young female adults inner confidence and strength because the women in the magazine are strong and successful without the help of a man. They were proving that they could do it all on their own.
Since 1952, Jet Magazine has had a full page feature called 'Beauty of the Week'. This feature includes a photograph of an African American woman in a swimsuit (either one piece or bikini, but never nude), along with her name, place of residence, profession, hobbies and interests. Many of the women are not professional models and submit their photographs for the magazine's consideration. The purpose of the feature is to promote the notion that African-American women are beautiful.
