Dr. Teresa Hairston passes her Legacy to Son, Roland Hairston, II as publisher, and E.J. Gaines is appointed Editor of the popular magazine. Gospel Today, America's longest-running urban Christian magazine has announced that Dr. Teresa Hairston will retire from the magazine she founded over two decades ago, marking a new era for the faith-based media mainstay.
While she intends to remain a valued advisor to the magazine she built from just “$300 and a dream," Dr. Hairston will redirect her energy to various endeavors including the Gospel Heritage Foundation, which she founded in 1996. More details from Dr. Teresa Hairston were included in her final “Inspired Perspective” column in the November/December 2011 issue of Gospel Today, available on newsstands now.
Partnering with Hairston II in the future of Gospel Today is E.J. Gaines, who has been appointed Editor of the popular magazine. No foreigner to journalism and the Gospel community, E.J. Gaines is the Editor of Gospel Pundit.com, one of the leading web destinations for Gospel music, which he founded in 2008. Gaines is also an attorney, admitted to practice in New York, where he walked on Wall Street for two years before relocating to the Nashville, TN area.
Despite the change in leadership, readers will still find the lifestyle focus of Gospel Today and high quality of journalism they have come to know from Gospel Today. On the horizon, however, supporters can expect to see what Hairston, II calls an “innovative marriage of print and digital.”
“This is a new day!” says Hairston, II. “It's going to be very exciting to see how God uses Gospel Today to shape our generation and tell His story! As we enter this new era, I'd ask the Body of Christ to pray for and partner with Gospel Today to continue changing the way the world sees faith.”
