Young LDS Woman Fills Internet Niche for Young Women
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA -- Stacie Skinner, a young LDS woman in
Northern California, couldn't find an LDS young women's e-zine on the
Internet, so she decided to create one herself, says a report last
week on the web site Mahonri.org. The result is the now two-year-old
'Daughters of Zion' e-zine, a twice-monthly email list that reaches
some 150 young women, including some as far away as Russia and
England.
Skinner says she tried hard to find an LDS e-zine elsewhere, "I
subscribed to around 50 e-zines run by girls of all ages, but
couldn't find one organized by a member of the church focusing on our
religion. So I came up with this idea and Daughters of Zion took off."
The e-zine started in August 1999, providing advice, ideas,
interviews, dating tips and more. Skinner says she believes her
magazine serves as a missionary tool, an informative guide, a social
outlet, and as a safe place for young women with high standards. The
e-zine includes columns titled Advice4Life, Pen Pals, Choose the
Right, Ideas for Devotionals, FHE Recipes, Guy Interviews, Dating
Tips, Poetry, Personal Progress, My Favorite, You Speak, Freebies,
Make It Yourself, and Birthdays.
