60 Female-Centric Media Innovations

From Female-Focused Streaming Services to Model-Hosted Vlogs

— April 27, 2016 — Pop Culture
These female-centric media innovations range from feminine streaming services to model-hosted web channels like those by stars Jourdan Dunn and Karlie Kloss. Appealing to Millennial audiences, the supersmodels' vlogs zone into topics that are close to their hearts and the hearts of their fans. While Dunn's food-focused web series celebrates the model's love of international cuisines, Kloss's channel is more personal, chronicling her daily life and her coding initiatives for young girls.

Other notable examples in this realm include feminist rage video games -- a humorous take on stereotypes and misconceptions that plague modern women -- along with niche lifestyle platforms like Latina fashion blogs and beauty platforms that spotlight African American influencers who celebrate their natural hair. Other female-centric media innovations range from gender-bending fitness editorials to feminist social media logos like a recent initiative by tech giant Facebook.
