(BlackNews)
March 10, 2009 – Black Health Magazine has announced that it
will offer a $1.00 subscription campaign starting Monday, March 9, 2009
and ending on Monday, April 9, 2009. The $1.00 subscription campaign allows
consumers to take advantage of health information that can be archived
for months and even years ahead. "We are experiencing difficult economic
times in this country, and our purchasing power has declined, but our
message of health and prevention must remain a priority. Therefore, we
are committed to keeping our message affordable to everyone," said
Marcus Oaks, Publisher and CEO. The announcement was heard live today
before a national radio audience on the Tom Joyner Morning Show.
Tom Joyner and his wife Donna Richardson Joyner appear on the cover of
the April 2009 issue of Black Health Magazine on newsstands March 17,
2009. The issue features information on the "Take a Loved One to
the Doctor Day" Initiative. "We don't like to go to the doctor,
particularly black men, so this initiative is really a 'call to action'
for black women to take their black men to the doctor!" said Joyner
in a recent interview with Shani K. Collins, Senior Editor of Black Health.
Additionally, Black
Health Magazine and Reach Media Inc. have forged a partnership to promote
health awareness within the African American community. Black Health will
provide health related content on a regular basis to BlackAmericaWeb.com,
a subsidiary of Reach Media Inc. "I have always been an avid viewer
of BlackAmericaWeb.com and its content. For years, it has been one of
the most relevant media outlets within the African-American community,
and we are proud to have the opportunity to contribute to such an invaluable
and informative site," said Oaks.
The April 2009 issue
also features Celebrity Chef G. Garvin, articles on high blood pressure,
allergies, diabetes, chronic back pain and a host of other health related
topics, issues, and concerns that are unique to the African- American
community.
