Overview
- Teen Vogue will be integrated into Vogue.com with its standalone site shutting down.
- Editor-in-chief Versha Sharma and at least seven staffers, including politics editor Lex McMenamin and features director Brittney McNamara, exited or were laid off.
- The publication’s dedicated politics section has been disbanded in the reshuffle.
- Condé Nast cited challenges with scale and audience reach and said Teen Vogue coverage will emphasize career development and cultural leadership for young people.
- Industry peers have already scaled back political coverage, and one person told BoF leadership last year urged Teen Vogue to be less serious as ad sales reportedly softened.
