niNe. magazine is an online publication aimed at teenage girls, a production of Nine Media LLC, founded as a print magazine by Melinda Laging and Louise Wo in 2005. Currently an online-only enterprise,^{[citation needed]} its Nine Magazine, Inc. print form reached a circulation of 20,000 and a subscriber-base throughout 43 states, the District of Columbia, and four Canadian provinces.^[when?]^{[not verified in body]}

Name

The name of the magazine is a reference to the Christian New Testament, specifically Paul's letter to the Galatians (5:22-23), which lists the nine characteristics said to be ways that the Holy Spirit contributes to a quality life:^[1]^{[verification needed]} love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

History

Nine Magazine, Inc. was formed in Colorado by Melinda Laging and Louise Wo,^[2]^{[full citation needed]} who began publishing a magazine aimed at teenage girls while attending the University of Colorado-Boulder.^[3]^{[full citation needed]}

Following graduation,^[when?] Laging and Wo organized a board of directors and established the framework of the publication.^{[citation needed]} With the economic conditions of the late 2000s,^[4] Nine Magazine, Inc. began restructuring to improve upon its initial digital platform.^[5]

Originally formed as a print publication, niNe. shifted to online-only content to reduce production costs, beginning in the fall of 2011.^{[citation needed]}

Content philosophy

The editors of the magazine argued that current media outlets aimed at young women focus on entertaining, selling, and engaging their audience "through content that is in the interest of the outlet rather than the audience".^{[citation needed]}^[6] They note that by addressing the facts of important issues head-on, the magazine can dedicate its pages to promoting self-esteem, volunteerism, philanthropy, positive journalism and literacy for adolescent girls.^[7] The creators of niNe. magazine have been stated as using this direct, unabashed approach to educate its audience and reconstruct the manner in which media communicates to a youth-oriented audience.^[3] They note that the philosophy seeks to engage the audience in the discussion of a topic without having conflicting messages in its advertising.^[8] niNe. is described as seeking to avoid advertisements that demean women or young girls, instead it seeks out advertisers that reinforce the beauty, intelligence, worth and strength of women.^[9]

-Fair question. You had one visible invocation of DISPLAYTITLE, plus two hidden ones inside the templates {{lowercase title}} and {{italic title}}; only the last one works, and the others cause the red error message(s).
-Oh, and also with the templates (or is it with DISPLAYTITLE? Well, less confusing anyway in each case!), you also *have*  to match (all but the first character) exactly with the ''corresponding'' default, i.e., database name, in this case with either "niNe. magazine" or "NiNe. magazine"
-Hmm. It's actually not quite as stringent as the previous sentence says. You could look up the details.

-The periodical began publishing online content in the fall of 2011.  The online publication focuses on emerging media platforms as an avenue for content geared to its audience.
-==Etymology==
-The ''niNe.'' title stands for nine characteristics the founders believe lead to a quality life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.<ref>[http://thegardenisland.com/news/article_15d110c8-4bc0-5459-b4db-dbd8c506752a.html "Shark attack survivor discusses products and jewelry lines in new mag"] Lanaly Cabalo, [http://thegardenisland.com The Garden Island], June 30, 2006.</ref> The capitalized ''N'' is intended to draw attention to the reader's inner world, to promote inner beauty and faith in one's self.<ref>[http://www.web.archive.org/web/20070626175046/http://www.ninemagazine.org "niNe. magazine Media Kit"], 2006.</ref>

-The magazine covers issues significant to the daily lives of its audience. Whether the subject is serious or casual, the magazine strives to dig deeper into these topics. Presenting forums for teenagers in this way empowers them to express themselves in a healthy way rather than turning to food, alcohol or self-harm, often in the form of [[Self-harm|cutting]]. This approach helps teens move beyond those crutches and encourages them to positively express themselves.<ref>"Nine tackles teen issues" Aimee Heckel (''Daily Camera'', Boulder, CO), July 29, 2005.</ref>
