''Girlfriend'' magazine is an Australian teen girls magazine established in December 1988 by Futura Publications. It targets readers aged 12–17 years old with a mix of entertainment, fashion, beauty, advice and lifestyle articles. ''Girlfriend'' gained media attention in 2005 when it was the first magazine to allow readers complete control of the magazine's content via the website in an initiative called "U Make The Mag". In 2006 ''Girlfriend'' celebrated its 18th birthday and won the Magazine Publisher's Awards for both Best Website and Editorial Initiative. Also in 2006 the magazine began to alert readers to its use of Photoshop throughout the magazine, as part of the "Self Respect" campaign. In 2007 ''Girlfriend'' became one of the first magazines to be completely printed on recycled paper. ''Girlfriend'' has been part of the Pacific Magazines stable since 1993;〔 a New Zealand edition is published from Auckland each month under Pacific Magazines New Zealand. ==Campaigns and initiatives== "U Make The Mag" allows the magazine's readers to vote for aspects of an edition of the magazine, such as its cover girl, colour and features, and happens once a year. ''Girlfriend'' initiated a "Girlfriend Bans Bullying" campaign to prevent bullying in 2005. In each issue of the magazine, ''Girlfriend'' featured ways to deal with bullying, and stories of people that had had to deal with bullying in their lives. ''Girlfriend'' also teamed up with Supré to release a range of "Girlfriend Bans Bullying" singlets and dogtag necklaces, with slogans such as 'Peace Lover' and 'Lover, not a fighter'. All proceeds raised went to charity. The Self Respect Campaign encourages readers to be themselves, not put themselves down, be happy with who they are, and generally lead a good and happy life. The magazine features 'Real Girls' in the magazine each month, who have had to deal with issues in their lives, and are intended to be an inspiration. There are quotes, recipes, reader profiles, exercise tips, and dogma on how to live a happy, successful life in the "Girlfriend Guru" section of the magazine, which is part of the self-respect campaign. The magazine has started a "''Girlfriend'' Goes Green" campaign, to inform readers of the effects of global warming and how they can help to slow it. The ''Girlfriend'' website also features an "Enviro-Room" which contains ideas on how to save water, electricity and resources. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Girlfriend (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
