Jet Magazine Goes Digital
ARE YOU TOO FAT TO DRIVE?
Jet magazine, which first hit news
stands at the dawn of the civil rights
movement, is ceasing regular print
publication and transforming into a
digital magazine app.
Johnson Publishing Co., which
owns Jet along with Ebony maga
zine, says the switch will occur at the
end of June. The Chicago-based com
pany says the move is a proactive
effort to adapt to the changing needs
of its readers.
Jet, conceived by Johnson Pub
lishing founder John Johnson as a
new sw eekly digest for A frican-
Americans, was founded in Novem
ber 1951.
The new weekly digital magazine
app will include video interviews and
other digital elements. Breaking news
will be updated daily and the com
pany will publish an annual special
print edition.
Jet is the No. 3 magazine in the
African-American market and has
about 720,000 subscribers.

Senior Center Throws a Party
The North Portland Senior Services Center
will celebrate National Older Americans month
on at the Charles Jordan Community Center,
9009 N. Foss St.
The free event will be W ednesday, May 28,
from 1:30 p.m., to 3:30 p.m., and feature live
music and refreshments.
“W e’re hoping Baby Boomers and seniors will
join us for cake, appetizers and other treats,” said
Amber Kern-Johnson, director. “It’s a time to
celebrate older Americans.”
Older Americans Month was established in
1963, when only 17 million Americans had reached
their 65th birthdays. In 2010, that number reached
40 million.
“The demographic of what is considered ‘older’
is definitely changing,” Kern-Johnson said. “We
see more Boomers using our services and partici
pating in our activities. W e’re continually adapt
ing to meet these needs and preferences.”
