One day after Vibe magazine announced 50 employees would be laid off and print operations would cease, founder (and Michael Jackson producer) Quincy Jones mulled the possibility of returning in a digital-only format. “I’m trying to buy my magazine back now,” Jones told EbonyJet’s Adrienne Samuels Gibbs. “They just messed my magazine all up, but I’m gonna get it back. You better believe it, I’m'a take it online because print and all that stuff is over.”
However, several looming questions hang over Jones’ head: Can Q rescue the brand name without assuming Vibe’s heavy load of debt? And what digital model will Vibe.com v. 2.0 run with?
