What is OUR Magazine?
OUR Magazine
is a publication that promises to revolutionize publishing. Instead of focusing on entertainment and celebrity news, our focus is on the issues, people, and events that directly affect the lives of African-Americans. The goal of OUR Magazine is to enlighten and offer social and political empowerment to African-Americans.
Is OUR Magazine strictly a political publication?
Although we will explore the wide spectrum of black politicians as well as other politicians that make the decisions affecting the lives of African-Americans, OUR Magazine is not strictly a political magazine...our focus is much broader. We will cover any person in any walk of life, regardless of race, creed, religion, political affiliation, or occupation that affects Black Americans.
Will OUR Magazine interview famous entertainers and celebrities?
Only if they are doing something that has a social impact on the Black community. That’s mainly what sets us apart from other publications... OUR Magazine will NOT be your source for celebrity gossip!
When will OUR Magazine launch?
We are strongly considering releasing an "Election preview" mini-issue, possibly in late September or early October 2008. We will launch our first official issue in December 2008. More information will be forthcoming so stay tuned! In the meantime, check out our blog entries and voice your opinions in our forums that we will post regularly. We encourage participative response!
How often will OUR Magazine circulate?
We are a quarterly periodical publishing four issues per year initially, although we may increase the frequency in the future.
Will OUR Magazine be available nationwide?
Our initial launch will be limited to 10-12 cities and we will circulate primarily in African-American bookstores in those cities (more information forthcoming). Eventually we plan to be available on newsstands nationwide. However, anyone anywhere can subscribe to OUR Magazine regardless of where you live!(stay tuned for more information in forthcoming months)
