Moxie Street Media Eco-Activates the Globe with Summer 2009 Edition

April 22, 2009 - PRLog -- (LOS ANGELES, CA) – Today, Urban Media’s smartest publication, Moxie Street Media (www.MoxieStreet.com), releases its highly anticipated Summer issue.  Debuting on Earth Day, a day designed to encourage awareness and appreciation for the Earth’s environment, the Summer edition marks Moxie Street’s eleventh release since its inception in 2007.  The social marketing publication, known for its socio-cultural edge and activism agenda, is bringing the summer heat with the hottest features and interviews from some of urban music and lifestyle’s biggest names including Ciara, Jadakiss, Keyshia Cole, pro-skater Terry Kennedy and Japanese manga icon Afro Samurai.
   “Earth Day 2009 is said to be one of the most important because of the state of our environment and our economy,” states Tone Swep, Executive Producer of Moxie Street Media.  “Moxie Street is fortunate to be experiencing growth and expansion during these times while traditional shelf publications are downsizing, compromising content or folding all together.”
   None as apparent as the folding of music and urban magazine leaders Blender and King Magazine who announced their collapses in late March.  While conventional media platforms are facing declines in advertising sales and subscription rates, Moxie Street’s web traffic has shown an increase of over a million visitors per month and page views up by more than 25%.  Swep attributes the expansion to the progressive mission of the eBook.
   “Our mission is succinct with Earth Day,” says Swep.  “Moxie Street’s goal is to promote unification, environmental sensitivity and progressivism worldwide.  Earth Day Network serves as the driving force to steer that message around the world.”
   Through digital media and combined efforts from platinum selling artists and recognizable non-profit organizations, Moxie Street continues to elevate and educate minds on overlooked issues that dramatically affect our world today.  With over 175 countries, national governments and 500 million people now observing Earth Day, Moxie Street continues to spread the green worldwide.
