time (magazine)

 

  • [47][48][49] Special editions Person of the Year[edit] Main article: Time Person of the Year Time’s most famous feature throughout its history has been the annual “Person
    of the Year” (formerly “Man of the Year”) cover story, in which Time recognizes the individual or group of individuals who have had the biggest impact on news headlines over the past 12 months.

  • In his book The March of Time, 1935–1951, Raymond Fielding also noted that Larsen was “originally circulation manager and then general manager of Time, later publisher of
    Life, for many years president of Time Inc., and in the long history of the corporation the most influential and important figure after Luce”.

  • [51] Time 100[edit] Main article: Time 100 In recent years, Time has assembled an annual list of the 100 most influential people of the year.

  • Each week, the program presented a dramatization of the week’s news for its listeners; thus Time magazine itself was brought “to the attention of millions previously unaware
    of its existence”, according to Time Inc.: The Intimate History of a Publishing Enterprise 1923–1941, leading to an increased circulation of the magazine during the 1930s.

  • The magazine’s editor-in-chief and CEO Edward Felsenthal explained this decision for a one-time cover logo change as a “rare moment, one that will separate history into before
    and after for generations”.

  • After Time magazine began publishing its weekly issues in March 1923, Roy Larsen was able to increase its circulation by using U.S. radio and movie theaters around the world.

  • Time set out to tell the news through people, and until the late 1960s, the magazine’s cover depicted a single person.

  • According to The March of Time, as early as 1924, Larsen had brought Time into the infant radio business with the broadcast of a 15-minute sustaining quiz show entitled Pop
    Question which survived until 1925″.

  • [42] Former president Richard Nixon has been among the most frequently-featured on the cover of Time, having appeared 55 times from August 25, 1952, to May 2, 1994.

  • History Time has been based in New York City since its first issue published on March 3, 1923, by Briton Hadden and Henry Luce.

  • [13] In March 2018, only six weeks after the closure of the sale, Meredith announced that it would explore the sale of Time and sister magazines Fortune, Money and Sports
    Illustrated, since they did not align with the company’s lifestyle brands.

  • On September 10, 1979, The New York Times wrote, “Mr. Larsen was the only employee in the company’s history given an exemption from its policy of mandatory retirement at age
    65.”

  • The second X cover was released more than three months later on August 20, 1945, with a black X (to date, the magazine’s only such use of a black X) covering the flag of Japan,
    representing the recent surrender of Japan and which signaled the end of World War II.

  • [10] Although Time magazine has maintained high sales, its ad pages have declined significantly over time.

  • People magazine was based on Time’s “People” page.

  • Time (stylized in all caps) is an American news magazine and news website published and based in New York City.

  • [2] It was first published in New York City on March 3, 1923, and for many years it was run by its influential co-founder, Henry Luce.

  • Following changes in the tax status of Canadian editions of American magazines, Time closed Canadian bureaus, except for Ottawa, and published identical content to the US
    edition but with Canadian advertising.

  • • The issue from June 15, 2020, covering the protests surrounding the murder of George Floyd, was the first time that the cover’s border included names of people.

  • [43] In October 2020, the magazine replaced its logo with the word “Vote”,[44] explaining that “Few events will shape the world to come more than the result of the upcoming
    US presidential election”.

  • More recently, Time has incorporated “People of the Year” issues which grew in popularity over the years.

  • [citation needed] As of 2012, it had a circulation of 3.3 million, making it the 11th-most circulated magazine in the United States, and the second-most circulated weekly
    behind People.

  • [45] Time for Kids Time for Kids is a division magazine of Time that is especially published for children and is mainly distributed in classrooms.

  • The magazine also compiled “All-Time 100 best novels” and “All-Time 100 Movies” lists in 2005,[52][53][54] “The 100 Best TV Shows of All-Time” in 2007,[55] and “All-Time 100
    Fashion Icons” in 2012.

  • Time Canada[edit] From 1942 until 1979, Time had a Canadian edition that included an insert of five pages of locally produced content as well as occasional Canadian covers.

  • Competitors in the US Other major American news magazines: • The Atlantic (1857) • Bloomberg Businessweek (1929) • Mother Jones (1976) • The Nation (1865) • National Review
    (1955) • The New Republic (1914) • The New Yorker (1925) • Newsmax (1998) • Newsweek (1933) • U.S. News & World Report (1923) • The Weekly Standard (1995–2018)

  • [22] During the first half of 2010, another decline of at least one-third in Time magazine sales occurred.

  • • On November 28 and December 5, 2016, the magazine had a silver border covering the “Most Influential Photos of All Time”.

  • The first issue of Time featured Joseph G. Cannon, the retired Speaker of the House of Representatives, on its cover; a facsimile reprint of Issue No.

  • They changed the name to Time and used the slogan “Take Time – It’s Brief”.

  • [46] Among other changes, the magazine reduced the red cover border to promote featured stories, enlarged column titles, reduced the number of featured stories, increased
    white space around articles, and accompanied opinion pieces with photographs of the writers.

  • However, after Briton Hadden’s death, the largest Time, Inc. stockholder was Henry Luce, who ruled the media conglomerate in an autocratic fashion; “at his right hand was
    Larsen”, Time’s second-largest stockholder, according to Time Inc.: The Intimate History of a Publishing Enterprise 1923–1941.

  • Then in 1928, Larsen “undertook the weekly broadcast of a 10-minute programme series of brief news summaries, drawn from current issues of Time magazine … which was originally
    broadcast over 33 stations throughout the United States”.

  • They first called the proposed magazine Facts, wanting to emphasize brevity so a busy man could read it in an hour.

  • [citation needed] Larsen next arranged for the 30-minute radio program The March of Time to be broadcast over CBS beginning on March 6, 1931.

  • [60][61] Cover logo replaced by “Vote” logo[edit] The November 2, 2020, issue of the U.S. edition of the magazine was the first time that the cover logo “TIME” was not used.

  • In early 2007, the year’s first issue was delayed for roughly a week due to “editorial changes”, including the layoff of 49 employees.

  • [59] As of 2022, the most recent red X cover issue of Time features a red X scrawled over the year 2020 and the declaration “the worst year ever”.

  • For nearly a century, it was published weekly, but starting in March 2020 it transitioned to every other week.

  • A European edition (Time Europe, formerly known as Time Atlantic) is published in London and also covers the Middle East, Africa, and, since 2003, Latin America.

  • [11] Also in January 2013, Time Inc. named Martha Nelson as the first female editor-in-chief of its magazine division.

  • [50] In 2017, Time named the “Silence Breakers”, people who came forward with personal stories of sexual harassment, as Person of the Year.

  • The first Time magazine with a red X cover was released on May 7, 1945, showing a red X over Adolf Hitler’s face.

  • [12] In September 2013, Nancy Gibbs was named as the first female managing editor of Time magazine.

  • According to Time Inc.: The Intimate History of a Publishing Enterprise 1972–2004 by Robert Elson, “Roy Edward Larsen … was to play a role second only to Luce’s in the development
    of Time Inc”.

  • The magazine actually began in 1923 with Friday publication.

  • The error created much media attention and concerns about the level of basic education among the magazine’s staff.

  • [37] Cover[edit] Time is also known for the red border on its cover, introduced in 1927.

  • These issues usually have the front cover filled with pictures of people from the list and devote a substantial amount of space within the magazine to the 100 articles about
    each person on the list.

  • Fifty-eight years later, on April 21, 2003, Time released another issue with a red X over Saddam Hussein’s face, two weeks after the start of the Invasion of Iraq.

  • In some cases, over 100 people have been included, as when two people have made the list together, sharing one spot.
