Attached: 2 images #PSA #CallToAction #TeenVogue Teen Vogue has now been folded into Vogue, and all politics reporters, all Black women and all trans people working there were fired on Monday (11/3/25) morning. That is, none of the people who made Teen Vogue a surprisingly effective civics communication vehicle remain with the magazine. If you or someone in your family has a subscription, now it's a good time to explain what boycotts are and what they can do. Note how "facts" becomes "progressive politics"

Over the years, many who read the news in the USA were surprised to find a magazine, ostensibly for teenagers, became one of the last bastions of mainstream press resistance.

A holdout from the earlier purges at other organizations, it was silenced this week.

I find this noteworthy USA news because it helps chronicle the ongoing collapse of the commercial press in the country.

    Teen Vogue has been drawing conservative ire for years, and is unfortunately one more casualty in a long firing line of progressive youth publications, especially ones with a liberal view on teen sex education.

    These journalists were astoundingly influential to a generation. I hope they end up on another platform so they can continue.

    Until then, the well for quality journalism geared toward teens/teen girls is damn near dry, but here are a few (great) dregs:

    https://buzzsawmag.org/ - Written, edited and published by students of Ithaca College, in the states. Mostly entertainment and pop culture with some science, politics and teen issues.

    https://ourbodiesourselves.org/ - started by feminists in the 1960’s to address the astonishing lack of sexual health education for women. Began as an often-updated print publication, now fully online. Focus is on sexual and reproductive health, includes stories from women around the world. Posts infrequent articles.

    https://womensenews.org/ - Independent web publication that reports on stories about women and girls from around the world. Features a “Teen Voices” section.
