Teen Vogue staffers have taken to social media to share the news they’ve been laid off, just as Condé Nast announced the outlet will be “joining Vogue.com, a transition that’s part of a broader push to expand the Vogue ecosystem.”

Teen Vogue covered fashion and celebrity, but also took in-depth looks at politics and social justice issues. Their writers have tackled everything from climate change to political pressures on universities, celebrity style to Billie Eilish’s recent comments about billionaires.

According to a statement posted on X from Condé United, a bargaining unit of the union the NewsGuild of New York, six of its members who worked for Teen Vogue are being laid off.

The union statement said that most of the six “are BIPOC women or trans, including Teen Vogue‘s politics editor, . . . Teen Vogue now has no writers or editors explicitly covering politics.” The statement also says that after the layoffs, there is only one woman of color on the editorial staff.

A statement posted on Vogue.com said that Teen Vogue editor-in-chief Versha Sharma “will be leaving the company.” Chloe Malle, head of editorial content for American Vogue, will oversee the outlet.

“I was laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday, along with 70% of my incredible team,” Kaitlyn McNab Teen Vogue‘s culture editor, posted on X.Much longer post incoming, but I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has reached out to me with love. God got me. We move.”

The Roosevelt Institute, a progressive think tank which recently awarded Teen Vogue its 2025 Freedom of Speech and Expression awards, criticized the move. “The decision by Condé Nast today to collapse this publication into Vogue and eliminate the politics reporting staff at Teen Vogue is evidence that corporate concentration eliminates innovative ideas and silences voices with less power,” it said in a statement.

Vogue said the move is not intended to diminish Teen Vogue. It said, “The title will remain a distinct editorial property, with its own identity and mission; sitting under the Vogue umbrella will provide a more unified reader experience across titles.”

István isn’t one of the most talkative characters in literary fiction. He says “yeah” and “okay” a lot, and is mostly reactive to the world around him. But that quietness covers up a tumultuous life — from Hungary to England, from poverty to being in close contact with the super-rich.

He’s the center of David Szalay’s latest novel, Flesh, which just won this year’s Booker Prize. “We had never read anything quite like it,” said Roddy Doyle, chair of this year’s prize, in a statement announcing the win. “I don’t think I’ve read a novel that uses the white space on the page so well. It’s as if the author, David Szalay, is inviting the reader to fill the space, to observe — almost to create — the character with him.”

The Booker Prize is one of the most prestigious awards in literature. It honors the best English-language novels published in the U.K. Winners of the awards receive £50,000, and usually a decent bump in sales.

Szalay is a Hungarian-British author. Flesh is his sixth novel. In 2016, he was shortlisted for the Booker prize for his book All That Man Is. He told the Booker Prize that he was inspired to write Flesh after his own time living between Hungary and England, and noticing the cultural and economic divides that exist within contemporary Europe. “I also wanted to write about life as a physical experience, about what it’s like to be a living body in the world.”

Flesh beat out five other books for the win — including Susan Choi’s Flashlight, Kiran Desai’s The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny, Katie Kitamura’s Audition, Ben Markovits’ The Rest of Our Lives and The Land in Winter by Andrew Miller.

The other judges for this year were novelist Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀, critic Chris Power, author Kiley Reid and actor and producer Sarah Jessica Parker.
