CHICAGO, IL — Today, Johnson Publishing Company (JPC), launched its new JET magazine app. The app replaces the printed edition of the magazine. The new digital magazine app will add fresh content on a weekly basis, every Friday.

“This is such an honor,” said Keke Palmer. “JET Magazine was always on the table in my family’s home and it’s great to be their first cover as they enter into the digital age.”
“I am excited to carry the torch of the iconic JET brand into the digital realm,” said Kyra Kyles, the newly appointed editorial director of both JET magazine app and JETmag.com. “I am confident that we can keep the legacy of the magazine for generations.”
