In a world that can feel overrun with digital content, print still holds its own and can, in fact, provide some much-needed relief from tech fatigue. This can be especially important for young people, which is where Tween Magazine shines like a beacon in the night. “As parents learn the negative effects of social media and devices, they are returning to more traditional media,” says Founding Editor and Creative Director Mary Flenner. “Tween Magazine offers girls a screen-free chance to engage, learn life skills, build confidence, and find inspiration.”
Tween girls are those in that “in between” stage of life, the preteen years where they are leaving childhood and entering adolescence. “We aim to fill the content void for young girls 8 to 12 who have outgrown children’s magazines but aren’t ready for the mature content in teen magazines,” explains Flenner.
