How To Pitch: UPTOWN
Reach affluent African-Americans with pieces on the finer things in life

Circulation: 275,000Frequency: Bimonthly
Special issues: The "Wedding and Travel Issue" (November)
Background: According to most media reports, the African-American community is in a state of utter crisis with rampant unemployment, black-on-black crime and too many single-parent households.
