Seventeen is an American young women's magazine targeted at the teenage segment.
---
It was first published in 1944 and is today considered by many to be
the most popular magazine for teenage girls although it faces growing
competition. Its editor in chief is Atoosa Rubenstein.
---
Its content includes fashion and what stores to look for the latest
trends, celebrities, beauty that includes how to take care of your
skin, different hair styles, and make-up wearing advice, lifestyle
advice, a nutrition section that includes healthy foods to eat and how
to maintain your weight, a sex and body section, and horoscopes.
---
It also includes quizzes about yourself and your love life. Its tone is
light and positive, and is sometimes considered focused on white teens,
although the editors are believed to be consciously broadening the
content. The article length is kept deliberately brief, high quality
photographs emphasize regular celebrity and clothing themes and it is
well supported by advertising keen to reach the big-spending
demographic of young women.

Founded by Walter Annenberg, the newspaper publisher, it remained in
his control for many decades through Triangle Publications until he
sold the group to Rupert Murdoch. The magazine was sold in 1991 during
Murdoch's debt crisis to the KKR controlled Primedia company. The poor
performance of Primedia, prompted the sale of Seventeen magazine to The
Hearst Corporation, one of the world's biggest media conglomerates
founded by William Randolph Hearst for $182.4 million.
