Another one bites the duss...


Giant magazine announced Monday (November 30) that it will suspend printing of the bi-monthly magazine, and focus its efforts online, with the launch of GiantLife.com.

The magazine was acquired by Radio One in 2007, but over the past few years, the ecomonic downturn has hit magazines hard. King closed its doors earlier this year, followed by the closing of Vibe. Now, Giant is following suit.

GiantLife.com is the new focus, where they will feature celebrity profiles, coverage of cultural events and special features of emerging talent in the African American community like JET does.
Giant's final cover will feature Alicia Keys, and will hit newsstands December 15.
