Pioneering black publisher John H. Johnson, whose Ebony magazine countered stereotypical coverage of blacks, died Monday. He was 87.

LaTrina Blair, promotions manager with Chicago-based Johnson Publishing Co., confirmed Johnson's death and said the company would release a formal statement later Monday afternoon.

Born into an impoverished family in Arkansas, Johnson went into business with a $500 loan secured by his mother's furniture and built a publishing and cosmetics empire that made him one of the wealthiest and most influential black men in the United States.

Eager to reach younger and more affluent U.S. Hispanics, advertisers, publishers and cable television networks are discovering it is best to speak to them in their own language - English.

Spanish may be the dominant language of Latinos, the fastest-growing ethnic group in the country. However, for bilingual, better-educated young Hispanics, English increasingly is the media language of choice.

In response, a new crop of English-language television networks, radio stations and magazines have emerged to offer fresh choices to "acculturated" Latinos, those who maintain their Latin roots but identify closely with the American mainstream.

NEW GIRL IN TOWN: Brandon Holley, who was named Monday to replace editor in chief Jane Pratt at Jane magazine, says she's not looking to give the title (which, like WWD, is part of Fairchild Publications) an extreme makeover. "It's not a U-turn at all," Holley, who resigned her post as editor in chief of Ellegirl to take the job, said of her vision for Jane. "It's sort of continuing what the magazine has already done, which is to be a revolutionary women's magazine."

Nor, she hinted, does she plan to clean house, at least for the time being. "Both Ellegirl and Jane are places where very talented people drift because they get to have a voice, and that's something I definitely want to keep," she said. "I'm going to go in there with the [existing] staff and we're going to work on it together."

That includes Pratt, who is officially slated to stay on through the end of September. Holley said she and Pratt had "a very nice meeting" Monday morning. "She's going to share a lot of stuff with me. We're going to go through an orientation."
