Despite being a dominating global conglomerate, Hearst RISE
is an example of Hearst’s commitments to Reinforce Inclusion and Support Equity
(RISE), to create an inclusive culture of listening, learning and action
through training, education, internships and more. Hearst states that “Diversity
strengthens innovation, creativity and collaboration; it is essential to our
businesses, our content and our partnerships”
Hearst also believes in conducting good business, taking
care of the communities they serve, and looking after their people. They aim to
make a difference by reporting on the frontlines, bringing viewers critical
information, keeping pharmacists informed, joining together to volunteer at
local organisations, and much more. Examples of Hearst’s ideology of “social
good” include donating funds and providing free PSA promotions to the American
Red Cross in response to the COVID-19 crisis; volunteering with the Coalition
for the Homeless, supporting Children’s Aid and many other programmes and
efforts to fight food insecurity, and support missions to combat racial and
LGTBQ+ injustices, for example.

Hearst Magazine’s is a subsidiary that aims to “inform,
entertain and inspire”, with nearly 250 magazine editions and 200 websites
around the world. Their magazines and websites cover all things from the latest
tech, cycling, cars, fashion, home living, food, beauty, home décor, health,
and much more. ‘Seventeen’ is “the ultimate content destination for Gen Z and young
millennials celebrating real stories and experiences of a teenager’s life” – a bimonthly
teen magazine for 13-to-19-year-old females. This magazine will be similar to
mine due to the lifestyle aspect and teenage audience (although my magazine
will be 16-25-year-olds).
