Triggered by the recent appointment of editor Danica Daniel, Black Beat will offer an exciting new focus designed to appeal to the tech-savvy, sophisticated and fashion-forward urbanista, showcasing her favorite celebrities with style and attitude. "For over 30 years, Black Beat has had its finger on the pulse of the urban generation, submerging itself in the hip-hop lifestyle and culture," notes Daniel. "Now, Black Beat adds a sense of community to its pages, inviting readers to contribute their own stories of triumph and struggle to its editorial coverage. With an energized and decidedly hip journalistic approach, Black Beat will also report the cutting-edge news and views that set trends and influence its readers. It's a very exciting time for Black Beat!"

Black Beat's new look premieres with the June issue, on sale March 15th. The Spring editorial line-up also includes its special Prom issue in April and its Summer Music Preview issue in May.

Black Beat, published monthly and priced at $4.99 U.S./$5.99 Canada is distributed nationally by Time Warner Retail Sales & Marketing and globally by Kable News Company.
