J-14 is a monthly teenage magazine marketed at preteen and teenage girls around age 11-19. It is one of the earliest teen celebrity magazines.[2] The magazine was among the top children magazines in the 2012 list of Forbes.[2]

History and profile

J-14 was founded in 1998.[3] The first issue of the magazine was released in January 1999. It is published by Bauer Publishing, the United States division of the German firm Bauer Verlagsgruppe. The contents of these magazines include features like teen gossip, quizzes, fashion, posters, and information on celebrities that pertain to the readers. The name of the publication is a sound-alike abbreviation of its tagline "Just For Teens."
