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"

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
Certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
Today's information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much, as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.
Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

Thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.
Now that this is public, I can confirm that the majority of today's layoffs were women of color. There are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.
Below there's a previews of a Hollywood Reporter piece, headline reads: As Conde Nast folds Teen Vogue into Vogue's website, News Guild condemns the plan. The union, which reps staffers, say the move was "clearly designed" to blunt the journalism of the brand, which has leaned into progressive politics.
