Right On!

Right On!

"Right On!" is an American teen magazine. It is published by Dorchester Media in New York City, and it was a sister publication of "Tiger Beat".

The magazine was born in 1971, out of necessity to have a teen idol type of magazine for Black teens in the United States. Like "Tiger Beat" does with White American and Hispanic celebrities, "Right On!" covers everything and everyone who is Black and involved in the entertainment business. It also offers female readers make-up tips, and has a pen pals section as well.

During its early years, "Right On!" focused primarily on the lives and careers of The Jackson 5, as well as Motown labelmates The Temptations and Diana Ross. Among the famous people and groups who have been on "Right On!" covers in recent years are:
Aaliyah,
Alicia Keys,
B2K,
Bobby Valentino,
Bow Wow,
Brandy Norwood,
Destiny's Child,
Mario,
Ne-Yo,
Pretty Ricky,
Romeo,
TLC,and other performers.
