The Edutainment Magazine
Rate Sheet
Grooveline Magazine has been serving the Black College market since 1997. It reaches 50 Historically Black Colleges throughout the United States. We have a target audience of over 500,000 students. Our publication also fills the void left by some colleges that don’t have campus publications, which allows advertisers to reach an untapped market. It’s also distributed in Sam Goody stores in the same regions,as well as independent retailers and clothing stores. This FREE publication covers all aspects of college life and the culture (music, film, fashion, politics, etc…) that surrounds it. Making it the perfect magazine for companies to introduce new products. It’s great vehicle for breaking trends to an open-minded readership with disposable incomes.
Grooveline is published six times a year with a circulation of 30,000 copies per issue. We also offer college tours and our back-to school and spring break music sampler programs.
