Jane Magazine Review Summary

Women’s magazines are a dime a dozen and Jane is one woman’s publication that doesn’t appeal as much to some ladies as others. On one hand, positive reviews point out the fashion and beauty tips and they recommend Jane to women of college student age. But the fact that Jane is aimed at the college crowd is also one of several criticisms of this magazine, along with its weak articles, excessive advertisements, and lack of anything appealing to a woman over the age of twenty- five. “Jane Magazine has All of Your Answers”, but it “Tries to be Cool, Ends up Lukewarm” and “Used to be Good”. Reviewers long for the days when Jane was written a little differently than it is today and these mixed feelings on Jane place this publication in the lower middle among Magazine Publication ratings.

Quick View:

I used to subscribe to Jane Magazine and then my sub lapsed. When I reupped, Jane Pratt was gone and, in her place were a bunch of idiots. The "new" Jane Magazine should be called Jane, Jr. It's a kiddie mag now!

I used to be a subscriber when Jane was run by its former editor, Jane Pratt. I am not surprised that Jane has stopped publication. After her exit, Jane became just another magazine like all the others. The articles used to be edgy, and articles were not bland. Jane became just like all the other magazines out there, with the same types of columns and articles.

Jane magazine is a great read for those college students who are always in the need of advice, or those not always on the up and up of the latest fashion trends.  I like Jane because it is great in improving my fashion style.  Each issue features the must have items of the month and what the latest celebrities are wearing.  I like that they not only show you the items, but also the price and where you can get it.  They have shopping items for every budget.  Who would have thought you could find a designer bag at Target?  They also have articles on a lot of today's hot topics, such as politics... read full review »

Jane has ceased publication, but it was good while it lasted!

Jane was a magazine known for its edge, but it lost that edge when its founder, Jane Pratt, left. I knew the end was near when Nicole Ritchie was the cover girl, and her startling, obvious weight loss was barely mentioned. Yes, weight is a personal issue, and there are people on all ends of the spectrum when it comes to a healthy weight, but please don't insult your readers by saying you promote a healthy body image and then glorify a young woman who lost weight so rapidly that people were concerned for her health.

But when it was good,... read full review »

Without Jane Pratt, there is no Jane.  Or Pratt, for that matter.   Gone are the days of snarky interviews, truthful product reviews, and make it yourself tiedye stationery.  I hate the new girl acting like a jane, when obviously, she's more of a tiffany or  amber...  Total waste of time and it might even lower your IQ.  Not worth the risk.

I was so appalled when Jane was taken out of publication.  But I guess thats what happens when the person who had the vision quits.  Jane was the BEST womans mag. out there until the creator and editor Jane Pratt left to rear a family.  Then the whole voice of the magazine was lost and it didn't even last a year more in publication.  POOR JANE!

Ugh. I don't mind women's magazines that are pure drivel. I may read a few once and a while. But I hate when a magazine pretends to be as sanctimonious, feminist, and "cutting edge" as Jane, and is nothing but a glossed over Cosmo. You're not fooling anyone!
