John J. Blassingame
The Print industry would not be the same without the presence of legendary publisher, distributer and newsstand consultant John Blassingame. Early on, as the only person of color working in then mostly white staffed media outlets like Hudson News, he single handedly opened the doors for black magazines to appear on newsstands. Upon declaring his independence and opening New Day Associates, John not only assisted with titles such as Essence, Vibe, Sheen and Upscale, but also partnered with and published Word Up, Today’s Black Woman, Hype Hair and Black Men. For the past 40+ years John still hosts the Designer and Model of the year contests, which launched such careers such as Super Model Debra Shaw. Johns motto is “your network is your net-worth” and such forward thinking has garnered him key important relationships such as Bronner Bro’s, Network Journal and Barnes And Noble. Stemming from his successful magazine network, John has also produced some of the biggest fashion competitions in the United States, offering grand prizes from notable sponsors including an all travel paid trip to Paris, London or Rome for talent to pursue their careers abroad.
