According to the Maynard Institute’s Journal-Isms column, Urban celebrity news magazine Sister 2 Sister has filed for bankruptcy protection and has put its print edition on hiatus as it focuses more on its online content.
Sister 2 Sister publisher and sole owner, Jamie Foster Brown, confirmed the news on Monday while stating that she was preparing an official statement on the magazine’s status.
“The community does not want us to go away,” Brown told Journal-Isms’ Richard Prince by telephone. “We wanted to teach people through celebrities,” she said. “God comes through other people.” Working with Johnson, she said, “I saw how much power the celebrities have.”
The magazine celebrated 25 years in print last fall.
Sister 2 Sister’s bankruptcy and online focus comes amid iconic urban magazine Jet’s decision to shift to an entirely digital platform.
