'''''Jet''''' was an American weekly marketed toward [[African-American]] readers, founded in 1951 by [[John H. Johnson]] of [[Johnson Publishing Company]] in [[Chicago, Illinois]].<ref>{{cite news | title=From Negro Digest to Ebony, Jet and EM | work=Ebony | date=November 1992 | pages=50–55 | url = http://books.google.com/books?id=PNQDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA50}}</ref> Initially billed as "The Weekly Negro News Magazine", ''Jet'' is notable for its role in chronicling the [[African-American Civil Rights Movement (1955-1968)|American Civil Rights movement]] from its earliest years, including coverage of the [[Emmett Till]] murder, the [[Montgomery Bus Boycott]], and [[Martin Luther King, Jr.]] Still published in small digest-sized format, ''Jet'' printed in all or mostly [[black-and-white]] until its 27 December 1999 issue. In 2009, ''Jet'''s publishing format was changed; it is now published every week with a double issue published once each month. In 2014, Johnson Publishing Company indicated that it would cease publishing ''Jet'' issues at the end of June, continuing solely as a digital magazine app.<ref>{{cite news|title=Jet to stop printing weekly, change to digital app|url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/jet-to-stop-printing-weekly-change-to-digital-app/2014/05/07/7654438e-d5fd-11e3-8f7d-7786660fff7c_story.html|newspaper=Washington Post|date=May 7, 2014|agency=AP}}</ref><br />

==History==<br />
Johnson called his magazine ''Jet'' because, as he said in the first issue, "In the world today everything is moving along at a faster clip. There is more news and far less time to read it."<ref name="Company1951">{{cite book|title=Jet|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=JEMDAAAAMBAJ|accessdate=7 January 2013|date=1 November 1951|publisher=Johnson Publishing Company|page=67|issn=0021-5996}}</ref> [[Redd Foxx]] called the magazine "the Negro bible."<ref name="Finkelman2009">{{cite book|author=Paul Finkelman|title=Encyclopedia of African American History|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=6gbQHxb_P0QC&pg=RA2-PA25|accessdate=7 January 2013|date=12 February 2009|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=978-0-19-516779-5|page=25}}</ref> ''Jet'' became nationally famous in 1955 with its shocking and graphic coverage of the murder of [[Emmett Till]]. Its ubiquity was enhanced by its continuing coverage of the burgeoning [[African-American Civil Rights Movement (1955–1968)|civil rights movement]].<ref name="Finkelman2009"/><br />

==Content==<br />
''Jet'' contains fashion and beauty tips, entertainment news, dating advice, political coverage, health tips, and diet guides, in addition to covering events such as fashion shows. The cover photo usually corresponds to the focus of the main story. Some examples of cover stories might be a celebrity's wedding, Mother's Day, or a recognition of the achievements of a notable African American. Many issues are given coverage to show the African-American community that if they want to reach a goal, they have to be willing to work for it. ''Jet'' also claims to give young female adults confidence and strength because the women featured therein are strong and successful without the help of a man. Since 1952, ''Jet'' has had a full-page feature called "Beauty of the Week". This feature includes a photograph of an African-American woman in a swimsuit (either one-piece or two-piece, but never nude), along with her name, place of residence, profession, hobbies, and interests. Many of the women are not professional models and submit their photographs for the magazine's consideration. The purpose of the feature is to promote the beauty of African-American women.<br />
