    Teen Vogue really on some shit lately.

    Between them and Rolling Stone the last few years…

    “Well guys, looks like the grey lady is doing a 1935 again, so Jackson, I’m gonna need you to pivot from writing relationship quizzes to the child labor beat. Ada, Frank, can you handle best makeup tutorials and genocide? Allison, I know you’re on concert reviews, how would you feel about also picking up the investigation on coal coke emissions?”

    Fucking good on them, I’m sure that there have always been people doing good work at these publications, but it seems like they’ve had to really expand their purview recently to cover these giant gaps.

      They’ve been publishing serious political pieces for nearly a decade now, 2016 election and a new editor was the shift.

      They must be the last bigger outlets that have independent income are not owned by some billionaire lobby.

      From what I can see I’d definitely rank Teen Vogue above Rolling Stone, although both are still editorial to some degree. Teen Vogue’s headlines aren’t as incendiary.

        Close friend was a political and occasional music writer for Rolling Stone. Apparently they’re a mess as a business, invoices, etc
