Rookie was an American online magazine for teenagers created by fashion blogger Tavi Gevinson.[1] Rookie published art and writing from a wide variety of contributors, including journalists, celebrities, and the magazine's readers. The subject matter ranged from pop culture and fashion to adolescent social issues and feminism.[2] Rookie's content was divided into monthly "issues", each built around a theme.[3] It updated five days a week, three times a day: roughly just after school, at dinnertime, and "when it’s really late and you should be writing a paper but are Facebook stalking instead."[4]
