RiseUp, the First American Magazine on Race and Ethnicity Launches
June 22
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) June 19, 2008 --
From the heart of America–and getting directly
to the heart of race and ethnicity issues–comes
RiseUp, the first magazine about
race and ethnicity issues and their effect on our American communities.
Launching across the United States on June 22, 2008, with a circulation
of more than 4 million, RiseUp is a weekly newspaper insert and online
magazine that aims to spark an ongoing conversation for all races and
ethnicities about the things that make us different, as well as those
that unite us.
The magazine, which will be featured in the nation’s
most circulated newspapers such as the Chicago Tribune, Washington Post
and New York Daily News, is the brainchild of Dr.
Janice Ellis, a former Kansas City, Mo., mayoral candidate, renowned
writer and businesswoman.
“I started RiseUp because I wanted to provide
a readily accessible tool to help us solve some of the problems we face
as a society when it comes to race relations,”
said Ellis, publisher of RiseUp.
Ellis said she feels the time is right for RiseUp to help Americans
start a conversation about race and ethnicity –
something usually approached with timidity or fear.
The Web site USARiseUp.com will showcase content from each week’s
issue of RiseUp, and readers can join the conversation by sharing their
thoughts on stories and ideas posted online.
RiseUp will offer both in-depth cover stories on current racial and
ethnic issues, as well as lighter fare such as recipes, feature stories
and profiles, celebrity input and more.
“We’re thrilled to
be launching in such respected newspapers across the country,”
said Ellis. “Talking about race and ethnicity
in a positive, constructive manner is important to us all understanding
each other better, and this response proves we’re
ready to start the conversation.”
RiseUp will be featured in the following newspapers at its launch date:
