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.
Like Hollywood movies’, it’s a remake of those pre 2nd ww years when fascism and nazism were on the rise. Historians and we can observe first hand how it unfolds transition from democracy.
