PROFILE: Monore tapped for newly created Ebony positionBlack Press Magazine interns: Natalie Gilmore (Senior) and Dashira Harris (Junior)

Washington, DC -- June 29, 2006 -- (BlackPressMagazine.com) Johnson Publishing Company, Inc., the world’s largest African-American owned and operated publishing company, has a new addition. Bryan Monroe is set to head two of its brands Ebony and Jet Magazines.

Linda Johnson Rice, President and CEO of Johnson Publishing Company has appointed Monroe vice president and editorial director of Ebony and Jet Magazines effective August 1.

Monroe is the former assistant vice president for news at Knight Ridder Inc. and current president of the National Association of Black Journalists. Concerning Monroe’s new position, NABJ region director, Russell LaCour said that “I really don’t know enough to comment.”

Ebony is one of the oldest and successful African-American magazines; however in 2005 the magazine faced a decline in circulation. With this trend it looks like Monroe has his work cut out for him.

Here are just a few of the articles that the Black Press Magazine summer interns have completed:

She was presented with the award at the SPJ Annual Dateline Awards for Excellence in Local Journalism dinner at the National Press Club last month in Washington, DC.

CD Review: The Singletons The Singleton’s Better Than That is a hit with a message for any and everybody that listens.
