Jeanne Magazine is a monthly French digital magazine, created in 2014, dedicated to lesbian news and culture.
History In July 2013, the former lesbian paper magazine La Dixième Muse, briefly become Muse & Out, was placed in liquidation. At the end of 2013, the magazine's former editor-in-chief, Stephanie Delon, decided to launch a new lesbian magazine, this time in digital form, which was Jeanne Magazine. She partnered with Alice Derock, founder of the sex toy company Wet For Her. They recruited a dozen people, including professional journalists, some of whom were former columnists of La Dixième Muse. A fundraising campaign was launched on the Kiss Kiss Bank Bank website, raising 500 euros more than the target of 4000 euros.
Jeanne Magazine takes the form of a website of news and lesbian culture, regularly updated with articles, and which publishes monthly a digital magazine of about sixty pages. The magazine is readable on a computer, smartphone or digital tablet and includes multimedia-enriched content (sounds, videos) in addition to the articles themselves. Its launch price was 2.69 euros. In January 2017, the magazine published in its issues 36 and 37 a large survey of Lesbian Beings in 2017 conducted among its readers, on topics such as their way of living their sexuality and their love life, coming out and homosexuality.
Content The magazine covers current affairs, fashion, lifestyle, technology, travel, cooking and animals, as well as testimonies and letters from readers and activist articles in the fight against homophobia and lesbophobia.
