Ebony is not 2 hype

I enjoyed this magazine since I grew up on it. It changed the way I think about the black community and the culture we live in and discuss. Yeah a lotta people need to get their hands on EBONY 'cuz they rock I mean they're da bomb. It has it all from entertainment, history, sports, books/literature, music, stars, everything. I 'Preciate John P. or John H. Johnson for doing much work on this. Not sure if he's around or what. Maybe dead.

Declining Quality

I've been an Ebony reader for years and in the past have usually enjoyed the articles. But in recent years, I have become disappointed in the quality of the magazine. Many of the articles do not delve deep enough in the issues affecting the Black community and for me come off as journalistic fluff. I would also have to agree with another reviewer who expressed concern with the constant barrage of celebrity pics. Besides adding to the aforementioned journalistic fluff, I have grown weary of seeing Ebony fill their pages with some famous Black actor or sports hero with his new "pigment deficient" wife. (This, while in a previous issue, they talk about how hard it is for Black women to find a good Black man.) But since they are going to profile celebritites, I would like to see them profile more Black actresses than Halle Berry. There are many of us who are in the "Angela Bassett was robbed" camp and would like to see evidence that Black female Hollywood is not just Halle.

For an overall review, if you want glossy pics, this mag is for you.

If you want in-depth articles that really examine the issues, look elsewhere.

black awareness

After reading EBONY, i found out that the magazine is unique in the sense that it brings out the welfare of Black race, more so it is also good for one to know the insight of what is going on in America concerning the Blacks, as in their welfare, also knowing what they've achieved in the music Business, and the entertainment world.
