Founding of Time Magazine

Journalism Milestones

On March 3, 1923, Henry Luce and Briton Hadden published the first issue of Time in New York City, the first weekly news magazine in the United States. The format, condensing a week's news into a single readable weekly digest, became the template for the modern newsmagazine and launched what grew into Time Inc.
