Gibbs resigns as publisher of Ebony and Jet magazines
(August
5, 2008) Kenard Gibbs has resigned from his position as publisher of
Ebony and Jet magazines on Wednesday, according to a story from the
Associated Press.
Gibbs, 44, joined Johnson Publishing Co. in June 2007 as group publisher
and was also named president of the newly formed Ebony/Jet Entertainment
Group. Plans for the division included the creation of branded
entertainment content.
JPC spokeswoman Staci R. Collins Jackson told the AP the parting was
"amicable." No details were immediately provided on who would assume the
publisher title or oversee the entertainment group.
As former president of VIBE magazine, Gibbs oversaw all business
development strategies and was responsible for all advertising sales
revenue, event marketing, digital platforms and public relations. Gibbs
also expanded the VIBE brand beyond print to mediums including
broadcast, mobile and VOD.
Gibbs is a co-founder MadVision Entertainment, which in June acquired
the rights to the "Soul Train" TV show from Don Cornelius with plans to
re-vitalized the program.
