LOS ANGELES, CA  [Thursday Mar.8.2007]  /WMQT.com/ -- Bono is being welcomed as guest editor of the July issue of Vanity Fair.

The U2 frontman plans to include several articles about a subject that is very near and dear to him - the continent of Africa.

Editor Graydon Carter said, "Bono will make a different issue about Africa than we would. I think there isn't one editor in the world who would not pay attention if Bono pulled up and said he wanted to edit a magazine."

He adds, "We need to get better at storytelling. We've got to get better at telling the success stories of Africa in addition to the horror stories."
