Jet Magazine

📖
JET magazine was founded in November 1951 by publisher John H. Johnson of the Chicago-based Johnson Publishing Company. Created as a pocket-sized sister publication to Ebony, it was designed to provide the African-American community with rapid, accessible coverage of national news, politics, sports, and culture that was largely ignored by mainstream media. 📕

Key Founding Details
* Name Origin: The name JET was chosen to symbolize "Black and speed" because the publishers wanted to deliver breaking news to the community as quickly as possible. [1]
* Original Billed Title: Originally billed as "The Weekly Negro News Magazine."
* Format: It was printed in a highly portable, digest-sized format until its final print issue at the end of 1999. [👨🏿]
* Cultural Impact: JET famously chronicled pivotal moments in the Civil Rights Movement, including its 1955 decision to publish the devastating open-casket photographs of Emmett Till.
