"Teen Vogue covered fashion and celebrity, but also took in-depth looks at politics and social justice issues. Their writers have tackled everything from climate change to political pressures on universities, celebrity style to Billie Eilish's recent comments about billionaires. According to a statement posted on X from Conde United, a bargaining unit of the union the NewsGuild of New York, six of its members who worked for Teen Vogue are being laid off."
"The union statement said that most of the six "are BIPOC women or trans, including Teen Vogue's politics editor, . . . Teen Vogue now has no writers or editors explicitly covering politics." The statement also says that after the layoffs, there is only one woman of color on the editorial staff. A statement posted on Vogue.com said that Teen Vogue editor-in-chief Versha Sharma "will be leaving the company." Chloe Malle, head of editorial content for American Vogue, will oversee the outlet."
Condé Nast announced that Teen Vogue will join Vogue.com, and multiple Teen Vogue staffers were laid off as part of that transition. Teen Vogue combined fashion and celebrity coverage with in-depth reporting on politics and social justice, including climate change and campus political pressures. Conde United, a NewsGuild bargaining unit, said six members who worked for Teen Vogue were laid off and that most of them are BIPOC women or trans, leaving no writers explicitly covering politics and only one woman of color on editorial staff. Versha Sharma will leave and Chloe Malle will oversee the outlet; staffers publicly shared layoff news and the decision drew criticism from a progressive think tank.
