Condé Nast just dealt a knockout blow to radical youth propaganda: Teen Vogue will no longer exist as an independent title, merging into Vogue.com effective immediately.
Seventy-five percent of the staff are gone. The entire political desk—every last editor and writer—received pink slips. NewsGuild of New York and the Condé Union blasted the decision, highlighting that most of those laid off were BIPOC women and trans employees.
“Only one woman of color remains on the Teen Vogue masthead,” the unions declared. “Condé leadership owes us answers, and we will get them.”
From the top, Vogue’s business team insists this is growth, not a retreat. An internal memo promises Teen Vogue will keep a “distinct identity and mission” within the larger Vogue ecosystem. Expect a leaner, streamlined operation housed under the glossy Vogue umbrella.
Teen Vogue launched in 2003 as a teen-oriented offshoot of Vogue. Over two decades it morphed into a far-Left megaphone, relentlessly pushing abortion agendas, climate alarmism, anti-police rhetoric, and open attacks on conservative leaders.
In 2020, the site ran an op-ed calling for the abolition of personal property and the dismantling of all police departments. No compromise. No nuance. Just full-throttle radicalism.
Two years earlier, Teen Vogue published “How to Get an Abortion If You’re a Teen.” The article instructed minors on judicial bypass procedures and framed parental notification laws as “infantilizing holdups.” Its final line: “Everybody loves someone who’s had an abortion. Including you.”
This isn’t journalism. It’s ideological warfare aimed at America’s youngest readers.
Condé Nast’s move sends a clear message: it’s done subsidizing extreme politics masquerading as fashion and lifestyle content. In today’s fractured media landscape, credibility and real growth come from substance, not agitprop.
The curtain falls on Teen Vogue’s era of radical indoctrination. Vogue.com now inherits its audience—and its baggage. Only time will tell if a mainstream brand can neutralize two decades of left-wing activism in glossy teen form.
One thing is certain: conservative readers will relish the collapse of a hostile propaganda mill. The question ahead: can Vogue.com rebuild trust, or will it inherit Teen Vogue’s reputation for radical excess?
