Seventeen is an American teen magazine. The magazine's reader-base is 13-to-19-year-old females.^[2] It began as a publication geared toward inspiring teen girls to become model workers and citizens.^[3] Soon after its debut, Seventeentook a more fashion- and romance-oriented approach in presenting its material while promoting self-confidence in young women. It was first published in September 1944^[4] by Walter Annenberg's Triangle Publications and The Atlantic Monthly Company in 1944 to 1946.

 Seventeen's history

The first editor of Seventeen, Helen Valentine, provided teenaged girls with working-woman role models and information about their development. Seventeen enhanced the role of teenagers as consumers of popular culture. The concept of "teenager" as a distinct demographic originated in that era. In July 1944, King Features Syndicate began running the comic strip Teena, created by cartoonist Hilda Terry, in which a typical teenager's life was examined. Teena ran internationally in newspapers for 20 years.

After Seventeen was launched in September 1944,^[5] Estelle Ellis Rubenstein, the magazine's promotion director, introduced advertisers to the life of teenaged girls through Teena, selling advertising in Seventeen at the same time. From 1945 to 1946, the magazine surveyed teen girls to better understand the magazine's audience. The magazine became an important source of information to manufacturers seeking guidance on how to satisfy consumer demand among teenagers. Today, the magazine entertains and promotes self-confidence in young women.^[6]

Sylvia Plath submitted nearly 50 pieces to Seventeen before her first short story, "And Summer Will Not Come Again", was accepted and published in the August 1950 issue.^[7]

Joyce Walker became the first black model to be featured on the cover of Seventeen in July 1971. In the early 1980s, Whitney Houston was also featured on the cover of the magazine.

News Corporation bought Triangle in 1988 and sold Seventeen to K-III Communications (later Primedia) in 1991. Primedia sold the magazine to Hearst in 2003. Seventeen remains popular on newsstands today despite greater competition.

In 2010, writer Jamie Keiles conducted "The Seventeen Magazine Project", an experiment in which she followed the advice of Seventeen magazine for 30 days. In 2012, in response to reader protests against the magazine's airbrushing its models' photos, Seventeen ended its practice of using digital photo manipulation to enhance published photographs.

In August 2016, Michelle Tan was fired from her position as editor in chief while she was on maternity leave.^[9] It was announced shortly thereafter that Michele Promaulayko, who was appointed editor in chief of Cosmopolitan, would also serve as Seventeen's editorial director.^[10] Starting with their Dec/Jan 2017 issue, the magazine was to start publishing only six issues a year instead of 10, to focus on their online presence to appeal to the Generation Z market. In October 2018, it was announced that Jessica Pels would take over from Promaulayko as editor in chief of Cosmopolitan, and that Kristin Koch was appointed Seventeen's new executive director, overseeing all its content.^[11] In November 2018, it was announced that Seventeen's print editions would be reduced to special stand-alone issues.^[12]
