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.
Apartheid South Africa and Pinochet’s Chile are different methods of oppression, though. South Africa was a post colonial state which declared independence to maintain local laws. Chile was a socialist government overthrown by the military.
I can see using fascist Italy and post Soviet Russia as examples, though.
