Teen Voices Magazine

Critical Review:

Teen Voices is an alternative magazine for teenage girl, that is also in part produced by teenagers as well. Each issue includes the column “Girl Talk,” an advice column “Dear D,” and reviews of books, music, and movies. Articles discuss issues that are relevant and of interest to teens.  The Fall 2011/Winter 2012 issues reported on cutting, coming out of the closet, and Facebook; all issues that are current and important to modern teens.  Unlike many other magazines aimed at teen girls, Teen Voices refreshingly does not contain a plethora of fashion and makeup advertisements.  Teen Voices concentrate on including quality content, instead filling their pages with superficial articles that are of little real value to teens.  The magazine has a clear feminist tilt and focuses on building strong women.
