Have you have any ideas for a teen magazine?

Teen Magazine Ideas

• Answer:

  Teen-oriented magazines can address a number of topics. Most commonly, teen magazines address issues such as fashion trends and beauty, but there is a wide market among the youth of America for magazines that inform on sports, health, hobbies, arts and crafts, and more. Teen magazines can be an opportunity to encourage teens to be healthful, active and motivated with their time and energy. Health According to a study done by the CDC in 2004, 16 percent of American youth and adolescents are obese. A health-oriented magazine can give teens interesting and fun activities that will promote a healthful physique, as well as encourage healthful eating and involvement in sports. Sports Many teens play on sports teams at their high schools or are interested in unusual sports. Physical activity and learning to work as part of a team are important and should be encouraged. Sports magazines can feature professional athletes, include tips to help a teen better her "game," and offer coupons and discounts on sportswear and supplies. Arts, Crafts and Hobbies According to an All You Can Read list of the top 10 teen magazines of 2010, the top ten magazines are gossip, fashion and music oriented. To create a magazine that introduces new ideas to teens, include arts, crafts and unique hobbies that might catch the interest of a teenager and widen his perspective. Teen magazines should speak not just to what kids are already interested in, but also introduce new ideas.
