JET, the No. 1 African-American newsweekly in the world, was first published in November 1951.   More than 9 million weekly readers rely on the publication for its timely and relevant reporting from an informed, Black perspective.   Its weekly frequency, scope of coverage, audience reach and penetration combine to make it the world's most widely read, Black-oriented newsweekly.

JET's editorial mission is to not only cover stories about highly recognized African-American events and individuals, but also everyday hard-hitting news that impacts lives, touches hearts and reflects the quality of life of the world we live in.
