The U.K.'s Christian Magazine Inspire is reporting the launch of a new spiritual magazine for girls called Caris.
The magazine, aimed at 11-16-year-olds, features inspiring stories for and about teen girls. It's focus is more on activism and empowerment, with the fun stuff thrown on the side - music, fashion, beauty tips - but no sex stories or celeb focus.
Their tag line: Caris "with an ethical edge and a campaigning spirit
for girls with body, mind and soul!"

Kiki Magazine - For Tweens Developing Their Own Style
I mentioned on a previous blog that the new tween magazine, Kiki, is launching. According to their website, it's now available and they've also posted their writers' guidelines.
I blogged about it previously - but I want to clarify a comment I made that might be misleading. In my blog comment about the post, I said it would be nice if it had more than how-to-get-a-guy articles. I didn't mean to imply it had those articles - just that it will be great to have a magazine that has more substance.
In fact their letter to parents clearly says they have no guy-oriented or sexualized stories at all. According to their website:
"Kiki has a unique point of view. It takes the college fashion design curriculum and tailors it to a reader 9 to 14 years old. Through the lens of fashion, Kiki encourages girls to explore other disciplines (business, geography, fine art, craft, history, world culture, even math) and shows them that having fun with style and artistry is completely compatible with intelligence and creativity."
So no fluff stories at all. No boys, gossip, or overly mature themes.
All I can say is it's about time.

New Magazine Launch for Tweens - Kiki Magazine
Kiki Magazine originated with a mom tired of seeing overly mature themes in magazines aimed at her tween daughters. She decided to launch her own magazine aimed at the 9-14 year old set, without all the kissing lessons and how-to-snag-a-boyfriend articles. The premier issue will debut in September 2007.
The press release outlines the philosophy of the magazine and its approach to stories for tweens. So check out this new magazine and pitch them your idea.
