If you were following Teen Vogue for their incredibly surprising political coverage, their entire team just got sacked. Can't recommend following Lex McMenamin - and anyone else they recommend - enough.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
