Way up inside 30 Rockefeller Center, smack in the middle of New York City’s legendary skyline, Seth Meyers and his writing staff brainstorm around a large wooden table. With only hours to prepare for tonight’s show, they toss around the latest excesses in the worlds of pop culture and politics, and the best ways to skewer the hot air out of each one. Through the hard work of writing, rewriting and more rewriting, the pitching and spitballing are molded into structured gags and observations until there’s a full lineup of segments and sketches calibrated to TV’s wee hours. That frantic storm of ideas, rewrites, and coffee runs has become a seamless tapestry of comedy gold.

Since its founding in 2003, Teen Vogue has been one of the top teen fashion magazines; and as a young fan I would scour its glossy pages for all the fashion, hair, and makeup tips.

A few years back, for whatever reason, I drifted away from the magazine, and it wasn’t until earlier this year—a few months after its final print edition—that the publication regained my attention through its online presence.

It was around the time of the Parkland shootings and I read an article that compared stories that typically run in Vogue and Teen Vogue. While the Vogue pieces tended to focus on seasonal trends and fashion weeks around the globe, the Teen Vogue articles weren’t concerned only with beauty tips. In addition, they were reporting on current affairs (like gun control) in a way that catered to—and didn’t patronize—a younger generation.
