At Teen Vogue, we pride ourselves on publishing reported pieces and essays that are inclusive and disruptive. With smart, authentic takes on culture, identity, and politics, we tell the stories that normally go untold, defining the zeitgeist for a new generation that demands style and substance.

At Teen Vogue, many of our readers range in age from pre-teens to late twenties, but we attract readers beyond this group, too, thanks to our accessible and timely content about trending stories and issues. We help readers understand upcoming elections, rank their favorite new K-pop releases, stay informed on sexual and reproductive health news, and shop for products that are fresh, as well as socially and environmentally conscious.

We are always accepting both reported and op-ed pitches across our four sections – Culture, Identity, Style, and Politics. For more information on the type of stories we’re accepting, visit our how to pitch page.

Journalistic integrity is the backbone of the work we do at Teen Vogue. Teen Vogue’s reported articles go through thorough fact-checking, copy editing, and sensitivity editing by our Copy & Research team. The team, along with our editors, make sure that all the information we provide is accurate, up-to-date, and conscious of the communities and topics we cover.

At Condé Nast, we value diversity of backgrounds, views, and cultures, and believe in providing equal opportunity and treatment for everyone. We value people for their unique qualities, skills, and contributions. We understand that inclusive teams drive more innovation, and the greater the variety of viewpoints, the greater the chances for success.

At Teen Vogue, we believe these Condé Nast core values are reflected in the work we do: who, what, why, and how we cover topics are considerate of all communities, with specific sensitivity towards disadvantaged and marginalized groups. We do this work by having a diverse editorial team, contributing writers, and editing process that respectfully reports on topics our readers care about.

In order to provide you with the very best youth-focused content, Teen Vogue runs advertisements. Additionally, Teen Vogue may join with other companies, earn affiliate revenue through products you see on the website or on our social media channels, or publish sponsored or branded content or videos. Products that earn us affiliate revenue are frequently tested by our editors.

Every product you see recommended on Teen Vogue has been independently tested and hand-picked by a member of our editorial team — there’s nothing we tell you to buy that we would not purchase and use ourselves. When you click on a Teen Vogue link to purchase a product, we may earn an affiliate commission, which helps us keep the lights on.
