Missy Magazine is a German feminist magazine that addresses intersectional issues in print and digital formats. With a strong mission for inclusive journalism and emancipatory working conditions, the magazine advocates for a fairer society.
Missy Magazine is a German feminist magazine that was founded in October 2008 by Stefanie Lohaus, Chris Köver, Sonja Eismann, and Margarita Tsomou. The magazine is the result of a vision to establish an independent and feminist journalism that draws on the traditions of magazines like Bust and Young Miss.
The main mission of Missy Magazine is to promote feminist journalism and provide a platform for intersectional and inclusive discussions. The magazine stands against sexism, racism, classism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and antisemitism. Feminism here is not a trend but a fundamental attitude that is visible in all aspects of the magazine[2].
Missy Magazine places great importance on reviewing and improving its own work structures. This includes critiquing and adjusting wages, fees for authors, work-life balance, and the introduction of menstrual leave. The magazine strives to create emancipatory working conditions and question capitalist performance principles[2].
Despite its long-standing presence and growth, Missy Magazine is currently facing financial challenges caused by inflation and rising production costs. The editorial team relies on the support of its community and has successfully conducted a rescue campaign, achieving 1,500 new subscriptions within 48 hours[4].
Missy Magazine is more than just a magazine – it is a cultural and political phenomenon that puts feminist values and intersectional perspectives at the forefront. With its diverse online and print presence and its dedicated team, the magazine continuously advocates for a fairer and more inclusive society.
