Since the announcement on Tuesday that Vibe magazine was going to close, Quincy Jones, the magazine’s founder, has been vying to save the urban music publication that he started back in 1993. The music producer spoke of Wicks Media Group who bought the ownership rights in 2006 saying “I’m trying to buy my magazine back now. They just messed my magazine all up, but I’m gonna get it back.” Quincy also said that he is planning to make the magazine online because it’s more profitable. He said “We gotta get into the 21st century you know. Print and all that stuff is over, we gotta remember that. They’re over the same way as the record business. We have got to get into this century.”
