YM was an American teen magazine that began in 1932. The magazine ceased publication in 2004.

History

The magazine was published for 72 years. Subscribers received Teen Vogue subscriptions in replacement.

The television series Pepper Ann was based on a comic strip by Sue Rose that debuted in YM. The strip was spun off from a YM Fido Dido strip also by Rose, the character's co-creator.

YM is no longer published online and now the domain is only a link to Teen Vogue. However, the forums on the YM website remained very active following the end of the magazine. After the website finally closed, the forum members moved their boards onto another domain.

The publisher was Gruner + Jahr before the assets of YM were purchased by Conde Nast Publications in October 2004. This purchase included YMs subscription file, title and brand name, rights to special publication titles, domain name, and newsstand pockets.
