ym was one of the oldest American teen magazines that was published for 72 years. It was the second-oldest girls' magazine (the oldest being Seventeen), having started publication in the late 1950s in a small digest-sized format under the title Young Miss. In the 1960s, the size was increased, and the title was changed to Young & Modern in the late 1980s, and even more recently to Your Magazine, though the abbreviation ym was the title by which it was commonly referred. It ceased publication in 2004 with the December/January issue featuring Usher. Subscribers received Teen Vogue subscriptions in replacement.
The publisher was Gruner+Jahr before YM's assets were purchased by Conde Nast Publications. This purchase included YM's:
- subscription file
- title and brand name
- rights to special publication titles
- domain name (ym.com)
- newsstand pockets
Trivia
Three teen magazines have now folded under Christina Kelly as Editor in Chief: first Sassy Magazine, then YM Magazine, and most recently ELLEgirl.
