Report: Layoffs at Teen Vogue As Online Magazine Gets Rolled Into Vogue’s Website

“Nearly all of these staffers identify as LGBTQ. As of today, only one woman of color remains on the editorial staff at Teen Vogue. Condé leadership owes us answers — and Teen Vogue’s readership. We will get those answers.”

Teen Vogue, which ten years ago transitioned from being primarily a beauty and fashion magazine to covering politics and social issues from an uber-woke perspective, got some bad news this week when parent company Condé Nast shared that the online publication would be merged with Vogue.com amid other changes coming to the Vogue brand.

Along with that news was confirmation from some now-former staffers that they have been laid off:

Teen Vogue staffers have taken to social media to share the news they’ve been laid off, just as Condé Nast announced the outlet will be “joining Vogue.com, a transition that’s part of a broader push to expand the Vogue ecosystem.”

[…]

A statement posted on Vogue.com said that Teen Vogue editor-in-chief Versha Sharma “will be leaving the company.” Chloe Malle, head of editorial content for American Vogue, will oversee the outlet.

[…]

Vogue said the move is not intended to diminish Teen Vogue. It said, “The title will remain a distinct editorial property, with its own identity and mission; sitting under the Vogue umbrella will provide a more unified reader experience across titles.”

In a predictably dramatic fashion, some of the “they/them” writers who were laid off are claiming that this is “horrific” and effectively means Teen Vogue will no longer have politics writers on staff:

News Guild of New York and Condé Union were particularly incensed over the fact that most of those who were laid off were “BIPOC or trans” – leaving out the part about how BIPOC and trans staffers probably make up the bulk of the workforce:

“Management plans to lay off six of our members, most of whom are BIPOC women or trans, including Teen Vogue’s Politics Editor — continuing the trend of layoffs at Condé disproportionately impacting marginalized employees,” the Guild continued. “Condé management said as a ‘dedicated pillar’ on Vogue, Teen Vogue will ‘focus its content on career development, cultural leadership and other issues that matter most to young people, according to the publication.’”

[…]

“Nearly all of these staffers identify as LGBTQ. As of today, only one woman of color remains on the editorial staff at Teen Vogue,” the Guild continued. “Condé leadership owes us answers — and Teen Vogue’s readership. We will get those answers.”

As word of the changes at Teen Vogue spread, some on social  media were quick to note that no tears would be shed, considering what has passed for “content” directed towards a teen audience at the publication over the years:

Yep, and I think it’s safe to say that anyone who actually believes that Teen Vogue provided the “best political coverage in corporate media” is also a big part of the problem.

The future of Teen Vogue is kinda vague. I guess they didn’t see a future for it.

This rag was a pile of scheist. If a woke story line existed they pushed it and they pushed it to impressionable teen girls. Burn it down. Burn vogue too. I don’t care about collateral damage. The amount of harm they’ve done to our society is immeasurable. We will be suffering from it for years and perhaps will never recover from it.

Golly. USAID sure did fund an awful lot of toxic waste across the globe.

Dollars to donuts that stockpile of money stuffed under the teen vogue mattress finally dried up, and buh bye freakshow!

I voted for this.

Their articles, directed at teens, were absolutely inappropriate. I’m glad it got shut down.

Adam Smith for the win.

Who knew that if what you offer is vulgar, amoral and stupid in equal measure that people won’t buy it?

Those laid off are otherwise unemployable – their core competencies of identity politics are obsolete. Might as well go to work picking weeds at an organic farm.

““Nearly all of these staffers identify as LGBTQ.”
Wow, they really went all-in on the Diversity Bandwagon.
Like taking an entire zoo and refilling it with nothing but sloths.
What diversity!

Re: chest binders for the disabled. I recommend Amazon. What a freak show. Goodbye freaks.

A trash magazine staffed by trash people writing trash articles. The only ones that will miss it are the trash getting paychecks no one else will write them

That what they published and sold is criminal. How many teens were harmed along the way? I suppose their parents were woke or unaware?
