Some teenage magazines focus on music and films while other concentrated on other aspects that teenagers want to read about such as lifestyle issues. Many of these magazines were seen as junior versions of adult magazines such as Cosmopoliton. Many teenage magazines aim to target girls such as seventeen magazine, this is mainly due to teenage boys being interested in reading about activities rather than problem pages and lifestyle issues.
Seventeen Magazine
• An American magazine aimed at teenage girls.
• Started publication in 1944.
• The first magazine devoted to the needs and likes of adolescents.
• Aimed at ages 12-19.
However in Germany ‘Popcorn’ magazine aimed itself towards both genders and launched the magazine within five different countries.
The teenage magazine industry was extremely popular with new teenage magazines being launched however in the UK it seemed to be a deteriorating sector as it is highly saturated with mainly American companies.
