JET is dedicating an entire issue to Michael Jackson in honor of the King of Pop’s passing last Thursday. The special collector’s edition will includes exclusive photos of The Jackson Five, vintage interviews with MJ, and pictures from the 25th anniversary celebration of Thriller in 2007.

“The relationship between the Johnson and Jackson family spans decades. They’d visit our offices, and there was a very special business relationship between my father, John H. Johnson, and Michael. Our publications have covered Michael and his siblings since the launch of their phenomenal careers. When I think about the many significant topics we’ve covered over the years that helped shaped African-American culture, Michael Jackson certainly ranks among the most popular and memorable,” said chairman and CEO Linda Johnson Rice.

Say buh-bye to VIBE Magazine. The urban-music publication founded in 1993 by legendary producer Quincy Jones is closing its doors. Multiple sources in and outside the magazine industry tell the Daily Finance that VIBE is shutting down at close of business Tuesday.

“We will be making a statement by the end of the day. That’s all I can say at this point,” chief financial officer Angela Zucconi told the site this morning.

UPDATE:

It’s a wrap for VIBE.

The staff was told of the publication’s closure during a meeting at 2 PM EST on Tuesday.

“On behalf of the VIBE CONTENT staff, it is with great sadness, and with heads held high, that we leave the building today,” Editor-in-chief Danyel Smith said in a statement. “We were assigning and editing a Michael Jackson tribute issue when we got the news. It’s a tragic week overall, but as the doors of VIBE Media Group close, on the eve of the magazine’s 16th anniversary, it’s a sad day for music, for hip-hop in particular, and for the millions of readers and users who have loved and who continue to love the VIBE brand. We thank you, we have served you with joy, pride and excellence, and we will miss you.”
