My Dream Magazine

Name: The Feminist

Concept: It would be based on my definition of feminism which is “a world view that promotes human rights, with the specific intent of improving the lives of women and girls.” It would cover a variety of topics that women my age would find worth reading about such as: pop-culture, fashion, beauty, entertainment (books, tv, movies...), food, sex, health, celebrities...

Demographics: Women, ages roughly 14-30 years old, all ethnicities, all income levels, targeted towards people who see the issue with the inequality in this world and want to become more aware and self involved.

Competitors: Bitch, Ms., and Off Our Backs are all magazines with feminist perspectives, however, I do not see myself subscribing to any of them. Bitch is critiques of TV, movies, magazines, and advertising, interviews with feminist celebrities and newsmakers, and book reviews. Ms. produces hard-hitting investigative reports and in-depth feminist analysis of national and global issues. Off Our Backs covers contemporary feminist issues, news, ideas, theory and analysis from a distinctly feminist perspective.

 My dream magazine would feature all of this information, relative to our consumers, and more! There would never be an issue that was a "dud" because so many things in life need to be called out by feminism or given a feminist perspective while empowering young women to do the same.
