Teen magazines are magazines aimed at female teenage readers. They usually consist of gossip, news, fashion tips and interviews and may include posters, stickers, small samples of cosmetics or other products and inserts. There have yet to be any magazines specifically designed for the teenage boy. ==History== In the United States, teen magazines were conceived of during the 1940s. In the United Kingdom, Fleetway's ''Honey'' (1960–1986) is regarded as having established the sector. Teen magazines are produced in many countries worldwide, and enjoy wide popularity in Australia, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. ''Seventeen Magazine'' started publication in the US in September 1944 and was the first magazine devoted to the needs and likes of adolescents. While some teen magazines focus almost exclusively on music and film stars, others feature more extensive coverage of lifestyle issues and are virtually junior versions of magazines such as ''Cosmopolitan'' or ''Cleo''. Well-known American teen magazines include ''Seventeen'' and ''Teen Vogue''. Popular now-defunct magazines were ''Sassy'', ''YM'', ''CosmoGirl'', ''Teen'', and ''Teen People''. Large-scale Canadian teen magazines include ''Faze''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Faze - Love. Share. Grow. )〕 magazine. Since 1972, teen magazines in the United States have reached out to the African-American market with publications such as ''Right On!'' (produced by Sterling-McFadden, which also produces ''Tiger Beat'') and ''Word Up!''. Like other mainstream magazines, teen magazines can be found each month at supermarkets, pharmacies, stores and newsstands. In recent years, teen magazines have also appeared on the World Wide Web. Examples of these include ''Faze'' in Canada, which is published in both web and print versions. In the UK, changes in the way teenagers spend their money (and the fact that there were fewer of them, though they had more cash) led to many casualties in the 1990s because titles were unable to compete with mobile, digital and online media. Magazine publishers have moved down the age range with titles for "tweenagers" (aged 9 to 13) gaining popularity, such as ''It's Hot''. Teenage magazines tend to be categorised as lifestyle (e.g. ''Sugar''), entertainment (often based on music), or comics. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Teen magazine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
