On
a recent visit to a popular pharmacy, I
saw a book merchant exchanging outdated
copies of magazines for the recent updated
issues. This makes one wonder if there is
a market for teen magazines such as the
popular Seventeen magazine, being one of
the few teen magazines that still reign
in the entertainment industry.
'My
Thoughts' sought to get the opinion of Teneisha
Hoffenden, an 18-year-old who enjoys reading
as well as her take on these reading materials.

J-14
YL:
A magazine for young, hip and trendy
teens and for those who are trying
to get there. J-14 is filled with
all your favourite celebrities'
information to keep fans in the
know and give teens advice on the
latest trends in the industry.

The activities for this magazine are
interesting, but this is more for
my younger sister who reads it frequently.
When I need a new hairstyle or some
fashion advice I read it, but I am
not a frequent reader of this magazine.

The
Buzz
YL:
The leading Caribbean magazine,
though for a more mature audience,
it showcases an authentic Caribbean
flavour. Only Caribbean personalities
grace the covers and inside, its
content is varied - from relationships
to sports features for the all-round
Jamaican.

TH:
I have never read this magazine before,
I am aware of it but I have just never
got around to reading it, so I have
no opinion on it.

Seventeen
YL:
This long-standing magazine started
in 1944, according to a popular
website. Its contents range from
beauty tips to school and career
advice. Each issue has celebrities'
interviews, music, movies and TV
coverage and controversial issues
of personal and worldwide concern.

TH:
I like their choice of models; they
actually make the clothes look good.
I like the way they advertise the
products. They designers of this magazine
may even inspire me to wear makeup.
With advice on how to coordinate the
clothes advertised, you are allowed
to create your own style and I appreciate
that they are considerate of all sizes.
