I think Ebony has its place. Unfortunately, we as a people do not have the luxury of having a very wide range of media publications to address all of our interests.
I enjoy Jet for what it is, a weekly "entertainment" publication. At times I find it more informative than Ebony with the political tidbits and brief articles about happenings in our community.
I think Essence is just ok. The price of the subscription is too high for me for what you get. Some of the articles are good but I think that Essence runs some of the same subject matter over and over again.
I enjoy Black Enterprise and enjoy most of the issues. After subscribing for three years, I'm trying to decide if I want to renew.
I subscribed to Savoy Magazine and so far I haven't made a decision. Part of my reason was that I missed two issues. When I called to complain to customer service, I was told that my subscription had been put on hold because an issue was returned for an incorrect address. Well you know a sista was pi$$ed! Shoot they had no problems cashing my check. Well I did receive the latest issue. There is an interview with Jesse Jackson in there. I browsed it BUT it seemed to have very little substance.
