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 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.

Sounds like they have enough following to just do it themselves

They'd need some way of funding themselves. Doing journalism professionally on the internet is not an easy way to make a living, especially when you're starting from scratch and self-employed. Even the larger media organizations struggle to make money from internet journalism.

ProPublica does. The Escapist staff quit en masse and formed Second Wind. Value comes from the workers. When you don't have the overhead of printing presses and the gatekeepers of print distribution there's not that much that the parent company actually contributes to the business.

I'd contribute to a Kickstarter and then become an ongoing supporter.
