Muslim Girl Magazine - Launched this week
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) January 19, 2007 --
American teen Muslim girls are much like teen girls everywhere ? so says a recent nationwide study of Muslim girls aged 14-18 years. The study was conducted on behalf of Muslim Girl Magazine , a new bi-monthly glossy magazine launched this month to give 400,000 American Muslim teen girls a lively and uniquely relevant perspective on contemporary living.
These girls go to public school, watch a little too much television, read teen magazines, surf the Internet, use Google, enjoy YouTube, play video games, shop a lot, talk on the telephone and spend time just hanging out," says Faye Kennedy, VP at execuGo Media, the publisher that commissioned the study.
"In short, they are pretty much like most other American teenagers".
" The study also highlighted some likely differences: for example, they get news at Al Jazeera, socialize at IslamiCity and count among their top hobbies, Qur?an study.
AUSMA KHAN, PhD, Writer, Human rights Lawyer and Activist, liked the concept so much that She left a Teaching position at Northwestern University to become Editor in Chief of this magazine.
"Most representations of Muslims in the media are negative," she says. "Muslim Girl Magazine challenges those perceptions by telling the stories of Muslim teens who are proud to be American and who contribute to American society in so many positive ways. This is a chance for their voices to be heard. The editorial mandate is to ?enlighten, celebrate and inspire? them."
~The premiere issue of the magazine features girls who have joined the Peace Corps and volunteered in Indonesia.
~Advice columns tackle everything from boyfriends to divorced parents to anti-Muslim discrimination.
~Regular departments range from Qur?an Notes to Hot List reviews of TV shows like The CW Television Network?s ?Gilmore Girls.? And a special feature on the hit show ?24? directly confronts the biggest elephant in the room?the association of Muslims with terrorism.
>>>>Muslim Girl Magazine launched with a planned circulation of 50,000 copies per issue in the first year and expects to grow to 100,000 within two years.>>>
