Nothing more, nothing less...and that hurts its future!

Like the title suggests, "Jet" can be digested quickly. It doesn't attempt to be too hard-hitting. In fact, it's better thought of as VERY light reading for those with limited time.

As a trailblazing publication, the magazine does possess historical significance. However, it seems to have lost much of its "edge" with the abundance of other, better written publications that adorn today's newstands.

With that in mind, the magazine deserves a major revamping in order to compete and attract readers beyond its loyal fan base.

If not, "Jet" is doomed to go the way of the dinosaur.

Beauty of the Week ain't always a beauty

SOme of them JET Beauties of the Week look like straight up skank ho's. Show a brother what he really wants to see, a white girl!

Getto brothers who have made it

Hi,
My name is Valerie Y. Williams and I have a few topic to talk about. First of all I work for a company and the president use to be one of the head leaders for a gang. He also sold drugs. This guy is know the president of a company in the same area he solded drugs and gang bang. He is an example of how people can change. I think it would be great to have an article on him and a couple of other bothers who were in that same situation. I work for Kingsway Fiancial Group, Aurora, Illinois @ 630 375 6048. My boss is willing to tell his story to help other black brothers out there. Please give him the opportunity to speak out and reach our brothers or brothers who are thinking about helping others.

You need articles that are going to interest our black community. The way to do that is find things that relate to our lives. I can write about "Black man forget but White man don't", that would be awesome. Our people are so argry and it needs to be released. We can't move forward with all that baggage.

Stories about how educated brothers from the hood became successful. We should educate our people from other people success to show them that they can make it and how.

Thank you,

Valerie Y. Williams
