Astoundingly dumb: Gen Z Voters Say They Are Opting Out of the 2024 Election

55. They get a lot of traffic every month by young voters. It would be a mistake to dismiss it because it's "Teen Vogue"

Two years into her tenure as the magazine’s editor-in-chief, Versha Sharma sees the magazine’s responsibility — taking young people seriously as they figure out how to navigate the world — as largely unchanged. She came to the magazine in 2021 from a position as managing editor at the video news publisher NowThis, having observed Teen Vogue’s Trump-era metamorphosis as a political reporter.

“Young people have always been political,” she said. “But I do think that today’s younger generations and Generation Z understand intersectionality and global community in a way that no other previous generation has. Building on that from 2016 is something we’re very proud of.”

As newsrooms try to cater to younger audiences through next generation initiatives and embracing TikTok as a news vehicle, Teen Vogue has been there all along. After two consecutive elections where youth voter turnout was far higher than normal, and as data shows that teenage Americans are consuming news at higher-than-thought levels, Teen Vogue’s focus on political reporting that treats younger generations as a legitimate news audience has been vindicated.
