‘Tiger Beat’ Was A Major Influences On Girls In The ’60s And ’70s. Magazines targeting the teenage girl market have been around in the United States since 1944 when Seventeen magazine published its first issue.

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

Enter Tiger Beat. “Tiger” was slang for “cute boy”; “beat” indicated how central music — the ’60s teen medium of choice — would be to the magazine.

The magazine was acquired by Right On! Media Holdings, LLC in 2016 and now concentrates on its digital platform, www.rightondigital.com and publishes select print titles.

Its subscription page on its website states that “Seventeen magazine will no longer be published regularly after the December 2018/January 2019 issue.” And while the website will continue to cover all of the same content, all upcoming special issues will be available on newsstands only.

The abbreviation YM means “Your Mom,” “Yummy Mummy,” and “Yahoo Messenger.”

Bop magazine was a monthly American entertainment magazine for children 10 years of age and teenagers. Bop was sold by its founders (Julie Jenkins, Teena Naumann, Kerry Laufer and Scott Laufer) to Primedia in 1998. Primedia sold it (along with Tiger Beat) to Scott Laufer in 2003. Bop ceased publication in July 2014.

Tiger Beat was the brainchild of Chuck Laufer, a high school English teacher who wanted to encourage more kids to read. The first issue—featuring the Righteous Brothers—hit newsstands in 1965 and cost only 35 cents. Donny Osmond graced the cover of Tiger Beat a record 35 times.

The magazine had a paper edition which was sold at stores until December 2018. Tiger Beat was founded in September 1965 by Charles “Chuck” Laufer, his brother Ira Laufer, and television producer and host Lloyd Thaxton. The magazine features teen idol gossip and carries articles on movies, music and fashion.

For the first twelve issues, Thaxton’s face appeared at the top corner of the cover (at first the magazine was entitled Lloyd Thaxton’s Tiger Beat ), and he also contributed a column. Post-2016, the magazine started using solo celebrities on their covers to target celeb-obsessed Gen Z-ers.
