Overview
- The standalone Teen Vogue site has been shuttered, with content to live on Vogue.com focusing on career development, cultural leadership and issues important to young readers.
- Editor-in-chief Versha Sharma exited as seven staffers were laid off, including politics editor Lex McMenamin and features director Brittney McNamara.
- The politics desk was dissolved in the transition, drawing condemnation from the Teen Vogue union, which said the decision blunts the magazine’s journalism.
- Condé Nast said Teen Vogue faced persistent scale and audience challenges and that integration offers a larger audience, stronger distribution and more resources.
- Industry reporting describes the move as part of fashion media’s broader retreat from politics, with outlets such as Cosmopolitan and Glamour reducing or removing those sections.
