Jet was an American weekly marketed
toward African-American readers, founded in 1951 by John H.
Johnson of Johnson Publishing Company in Chicago, Illinois.
Initially billed as "The Weekly Negro News Magazine", Jet is
notable for its role in chronicling the American Civil
Rights movement from its earliest years, including coverage
of the Emmett Till murder, the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and
Martin Luther King, Jr. Published in small digest-sized
format from its inception in 1951, Jet printed in all or
mostly black-and-white until its 27 December 1999 issue.
The Negro Digest (later renamed Black
World) was a popular African-American magazine founded in
November 1942 by John H. Johnson. It was first published
locally in Chicago, Illinois. The Negro Digest was similar
to the Reader's Digest but aimed to cover positive stories
about the African-American community.
This collection on DVD
contains 181 issues of Jet and 25 issues of Negro Digest, all in PDF format.
Page length varies, each issue of Jet is
about 60-70 pages. Each issue of Negro Digest is about
100 pages.
Please note that this collection contains scans of old magazines, some
of which were in poor condition before being rescued and digitized for
posterity. This means that you may see some covers with creases
and tears that show up in the scans.
