Founded in late 1958 by George Winters, 16 magazine set the standard for all teen magazines. Many imitators popped up over the years, and 16 withstood some pretty stiff competition but always remained true to its beginnings. In the mid-60s, the late, great Gloria Stavers took over as editor-in-chief. Probably the most fascinating thing about 16 is that it remained self-supportive. For most of its 30 years, it did not accept outside advertising from any source. (Nostalgia Central)
Magazine ceased in 2001.
