	SALON Daily Clicks: Media Circus
		Sassy's circulation was 801,000 in 1994; after the sale it fell to 671,000 in 1995, and was reportedly still falling in the first six months of 1996.
		Sassy's current failure vindicates all of us who used to love the magazine for its courage, for its willingness to treat teen girls as intelligent readers with more on their minds than boys and what to wear to some damned dance.
		Sassy's death reminds us of all the unfortunate realities of glossy magazine publishing: the primacy of advertisers' opinions over readers' and the profit-driven aesthetic that pushes content relentlessly toward the mediocre.

	[No title]
		Sassy girls were already plenty busy playing drums, working in fashion (but not as a model), achieving satori through surfing or being science whizzes, depending on which issue you picked up.
		Sassy actually explained the historical roots of the Gulf War and lamented the death of family farms.
		Sassy is a potentially great magazine and you are a fine young group of professional magazine people.

	Sassy and Teen Will Be Merged - New York Times
		Sassy magazine, which introduced sexually explicit topics to the market for teen-age readers, will be folded into Teen magazine after its December issue, according to a person close to the Petersen Publishing Company, which owns both publications.
		Sassy started in 1988 and ''was a very interesting idea that's long since been ruined,'' Martin Walker, a magazine consultant, said.
		Sassy's staff will be merged into Teen's, said the person in the industry, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

		Alas, Sassy's content drew the irritation of conservative groups from the Religious Right, who flooded Sassy's advertisers with letters threatening to boycott their products because they were supporting a magazine that advocated promiscuity and bad morals.
		Advertisers were scared off by the controversy surrounding Sassy, and the magazine was bought out by the company that owns Teen magazine, probably the most depressing scenario possible for Sassy readers.
		Jane Pratt, the revered editor-in-chief of Sassy, recently started a magazine for older women called Jane, which promised to be different from those other women's magazines that mostly make you feel bad for not being skinny or pretty or rich.

	Jane \| The Onion - America's Finest News Source
		During Jane Pratt's editorship at Sassy magazine, she achieved a sizable cult following for melding fashion-mag presentation with a Spin-style sensibility.
		Sassy was so successful that she has now returned to the publishing arena with her own slick, self-titled magazine.
		Jane's first-ever last page reinforces the magazine's uneasy relationship with the beauty ideals it can't quite bring itself to undermine: Supermodel Linda Evangelista reveals her 10-step cappuccino instructions, scrawled in her own hand on a napkin.

		Given the near-constant advertising boycott problems of Sassy, the big surprise isn't that Jane is blatantly ad/fashion/beauty-driven: it's that someone trusted Pratt once again with a glossy budget.

	Jane Magazine Reviews at Shopping.com
		I was part of the Sassy generation: the magazine came out when I was in junior high and folded when I was in college.
		Sassy understood how kids try on identities through music and movies and clothes, but it didn't feel like manufacturers' shill.
		Looking through the pages of the old Sassy would be like looking at a yearbook of the early years of my generation's musicians, actors, and filmmakers.

	Sassy Magazine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sassy Magazine is a defunct cult fave teen magazine that has fans of both sexes and all ages.
		Sassy's in-house band was named after the Chia Pet, with various members from the editorial staff, including Jane Pratt on violin, Christina Kelly on vocals, her husband Robert Weeks on guitar, her sister in law Jessica Vitkus Weeks (and Sassy writer) on bass guitar, and Mary Ann Marshall (also a Sassy scribe) on drums.

		If you somehow manage to avoid magazine racks then you may have missed the debut of Jane magazine, a hot, glossy publication targeted primarily toward women ages 18 to 34.
		Ten years ago, Pratt and Sassy were fending off the Moral Majority and American Family Association with a chic and saucy "you go girl"-styled publication.
		Sassy proved to young women that there was a place where they could venture away from the pristine peaches'n'cream prom girls of Seventeen, YM and Teen.

		Wherethe old Sassy once received an angry letter from Tiffani-AmberThiessen's publicist after referring to the teen TV star as a "deadbimbo" (New York Press, 11/23/94), the new Sassy does a story on Liv Tyler, actress daughter of Aerosmith star Steve: "Whatwe discovered is that Liv's just as cool as her genes."

		Sassy and Dirt are out of the house.
		Now, Sassy has a new home after its November sale to Petersen Publishing in Los Angeles; Dirt is officially dead after one issue with ESPN2 (it appeared seven times prior as a test supplement); and Lang is busy focusing on new ventures and its remaining magazines: Working Woman, Working Mother, Ms.
		Lang attributes the decline of Sassy to a recession economy and competition with "deep-pocket publishers" for shrinking ad dollars and space on the newsstand.

	Jane (magazine) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jane is a magazine created to appeal to the women who grew up reading Sassy Magazine, both of which were founded by Jane Pratt.
		Sassy, created by Pratt in 1987, was intended to appeal to adolescent girls, but because of its sexual candor and coverage of topics other teen magazines didn't touch, such as the riot grrrl movement, its popularity exploded beyond its intended audience.
		It then folded after just 5 issues under Kelly, a veteran editor of both Sassy and Jane, as well as ym, and who was rumored to be the favorite to take over Jane because of her decades-long friendship with Jane Pratt.

	Editorial: The Editorial Voice, by Susan Marie Groppi
		It was 1990, I was in eighth grade, and somehow reading that magazine felt a little bit like talking to the cool older sister that I didn't actually have.
		Part of what made Sassy special that way was that all of the magazine content was signed (that's incredibly unusual in fashion and lifestyle magazines) and each staff writer had a distinct personality.
		Jane Magazine, the grown-up version of the old Sassy, still runs very similar editorials by Jane Pratt, and whenever I read Jane (I don't subscribe, but it's an airplane-reading favorite of mine) I get a little bit of that old feeling back.

	mediabistro.com: Articles: There Goes My Hero—Finally
		Sassy lasted only six and a half years, but six and a half years is almost an exact teenage lifespan.
		The irony, of course, is that Sassy introduced Miller—and many other smart, ambitious women now working in the media and the arts—to pop feminism, proving that "mainstream women's magazines didn't have to be evil," and yet she has spent her entire editorial career at men's magazines.
		It was no Sassy, but then I suppose I was no teenager, and in trying to find a magazine that struck that same balance between the self-involved and the self-serious I was bound to run into a few that skewed too far either way.

	For Jane Pratt, life is not about finding a husband
		But if you read her magazine, as more and more young women are doing, you'll find a dearth of how-to-catch- a-husband stories.

		Sassy magazine may not have Playboy-style naughty photos, but the bold, breezy teen monthly prints plenty of material suggestive enough to draw the wrath of the Rev. Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority.
		Under the direction of Editor Jane Pratt, 25, Sassy has published such articles as "The Truth About Boys' ; Bodies" and "How to Kiss." That is too much for the Moral Majority, which in the mid-1980s helped persuade a few retailers, including 7-Eleven stores, to stop selling Playboy and other skin mags.
		In its Liberty Report newspaper, the Moral Majority urges readers to write to Sassy's advertisers and demand that the firms boycott the magazine.
