textual analysis – teen vogue

Teen Vogue is culturally significant in its marrying of the political with fashion and lifestyle to target a young female audience more traditionally seen as interested in more superficial issues. Its explicit feminist stance and reporting on the Trump presidency has made it a relatively radical voice in the context of mainstream US media. The social and economic contexts can be addressed in terms of how the product has been received and how it has succeeded when other magazines (online) are struggling to maintain audiences.

I agree with the above statement when it says Teen Vogue is the emerging politics with fashion and lifestyle. I looked at the article by De Elizabeth titled ‘2020 women’s march: the most powerful protest signs’. The article is about the thousands of people that took to the streets for a women’s march focused on a variety of issues including LBGTQ rights and climate change, which are both hot political topics at the moment but are also lifestyle choices. I also agree when it says that it is targeted at a young female audience as the title suggests it is an article for women however the march itself was based on issues that affect everyone.
