After yesterday’s news that VIBE magazine is shutting down [click here], Quincy Jones, who launched the magazine in 1993, has expressed interest in buying it back.

“I’m trying to buy my magazine back now,” Jones told EbonyJet.com during a recent telephone interview. “They just messed my magazine all up, but I’m gonna get it back.

We have got to get into this century.”
