American magazine publishing company
Time Inc.
was an American worldwide
mass media
corporation founded on November 28, 1922, by
Henry Luce
and
Briton Hadden
and based in
New York City
. It owned and published over 100 magazine brands, including its namesake
Time
,
Sports Illustrated
,
Travel + Leisure
,
Food & Wine
,
Fortune
,
People
,
InStyle
,
Life
,
Golf Magazine
,
Southern Living
,
Essence
,
Real Simple
, and
Entertainment Weekly
. It also had subsidiaries which it co-operated with the UK magazine house Time Inc. UK (which was later sold and since has been rebranded to
TI Media
), whose major titles include
What's on TV
,
NME
,
Country Life
, and
Wallpaper
. Time Inc. also co-operated over 60 websites and digital-only titles including
MyRecipes
,
Extra Crispy
,
TheSnug
,
HelloGiggles
, and
MIMI
.
[5]
In 1990, Time Inc. merged with
Warner Communications
to form the media conglomerate
Time Warner
(now
Warner Bros. Discovery
). In 2018, media company
Meredith Corporation
acquired Time Inc. for $2.8 billion.
[6]
[7]
Meredith was then acquired by
IAC
and merged with Dotdash to form
Dotdash Meredith
three years later, thus resulting in IAC gaining most of the former Time Inc. assets.
History
[
edit
]
Beginnings
[
edit
]
Nightly discussions of the concept of a news magazine led its founders
Henry Luce
and
Briton Hadden
, both age 23, to quit their jobs in 1922. Later that same year, they formed Time Inc. Having raised $86,000 of a $100,000 goal, the first issue of
Time
was published on March 3, 1923, as the first weekly news magazine in the United States.
[8]
Luce served as business manager while Hadden was editor-in-chief. Luce and Hadden annually alternated year-to-year the titles of president and secretary-treasurer. Upon Hadden's sudden death in 1929, Luce assumed Hadden's position.
Growth
[
edit
]
Luce launched the business magazine
Fortune
in February 1930 and created/founded the pictorial
Life
magazine in 1936, and launched
House & Home
in 1952 and
Sports Illustrated
in 1954. He also produced
The March of Time
radio
and newsreel series. By the mid-1960s, Time Inc. was the largest and most prestigious magazine publisher in the world. (
Dwight Macdonald
, a
Fortune
staffer during the 1930s, referred to him as "Il Luce", a play on the Italian dictator
Benito Mussolini
, who was called "
Il Duce
".) Once ambitious to become
Secretary of State
in a Republican administration, Luce wrote a famous article in
Life
magazine in 1941, called "
The American Century
", which defined the role of American foreign policy for the remainder of the 20th century, and perhaps beyond.
[9]
President
Franklin D. Roosevelt
, aware that most publishers were opposed to him, issued a decree in 1943 that blocked all publishers and media executives from visits to combat areas; he put General
George Marshall
in charge of enforcement. The main target was Luce, who had long opposed FDR. Historian
Alan Brinkley
argues the move was "badly mistaken", for had Luce been allowed to travel, he would have been an enthusiastic cheerleader for American forces around the globe. But stranded in New York City, Luce's frustration and anger expressed itself in hard-edged partisanship.
Luce, supported by Editor
T. S. Matthews
, appointed
Whittaker Chambers
as acting Foreign News editor in 1944, despite the feuds Chambers had with reporters in the field.
In the 1950s, the Time Inc. executive Brumbaugh made presentations to the Post Office Department to explain how Time Inc. was using a zoning system to speed the delivery of its magazines. Although the Post Office Department had instigated zones in 1943, they were inconsistently applied. As cited in FYI, Time Inc.'s internal newsletter
"
'Fewer than 40% of the cities were properly zoned,' he recalls. 'I went to the Post Office Department and showed them how we were making the zone system work.
'
" In 1963, the
United States Post Office
introduced
ZIP codes
.
[12]
Luce, who remained editor-in-chief of all his publications until 1964, maintained a position as an influential member of the
Republican Party
.
[9]
Holding
anti-communist
sentiments, he used
Time
to support right-wing dictatorships in the name of fighting communism. An instrumental figure behind the so-called "
China Lobby
", he played a large role in steering American foreign policy and popular sentiment in favor of
Nationalist
leader
Chiang Kai-shek
and his wife
Soong Mei-ling
in their war against the Japanese. (The Chiangs appeared in the cover of
Time
eleven times between 1927 and 1955.
[13]
In 1961, Time Inc. entered the book publishing business that combined the resources of their magazines with the formation of
Time Life
(it later became the holding company for television and radio stations and had a film production division,
Time Life Films
and a record label). Time Inc. later acquired
Boston
-based
Little, Brown and Company
(later integrated into Time Warner Book Group following its merger with Warner Books, now known as the
Hachette Book Group
since its 2006 acquisition by
Hachette Livre
) for $17 million in January 1968.
[14]
[15]
Time Inc. also owned pioneering cable network
Home Box Office
(HBO).
[16]
In 1974, Time Inc. launched the celebrity-focused magazine
People
.
In February 1985, Time Inc. announced that it would acquire the
Birmingham, Alabama
-based Southern Progress Corporation, publishers of the
Southern Living
magazine for $480 million.
[17]
[18]
In 1987, Time Inc. and Robin Wolaner launched the parent-focused magazine
Parenting
(Time Inc. later purchased the remaining stake in the magazine held by Wolaner on January 5, 1990, several days before the completion of merger with Warner Communications)
[19]
Merger with Warner Communications
[
edit
]
In 1987, Time Inc. lost its ownership stake in the
USA Network
, which it held since 1981,
[16]
after attempting to acquire
CNN
.
[20]
The merger of Time Inc. and
Warner Communications
was announced on March 4, 1989.
[21]
During the summer of that same year,
Paramount Communications
(formerly
Gulf and Western Industries
) launched a $12.2 billion
hostile bid
to acquire Time Inc. in an attempt to end a
stock swap
merger deal between Time and Warner Communications. This caused Time to raise its bid for Warner to $14.9 billion in cash and stock. Paramount responded by filing a lawsuit in a Delaware court to block the Time/Warner merger. The court ruled twice in favor of Time, forcing Paramount to drop both the Time acquisition and the lawsuit, and allowing the formation of the two companies' merger which was completed on January 10, 1990. Effectively, Time took over Warner, resulting in a new corporate structure and the new combined company being called "Time Warner".
[22]
[23]
In November 1990, Time Inc. announced that it would acquire the remaining stake in Hippocrates Partners (Time earlier purchased its 50% stake in July 1988).
[24]
The
Pathfinder
website was launched in 1994, with content from the Time, People and Fortune magazines. It was shut down in 1999.
[25]
On October 20, 2000, Time Inc. announced that it would acquire the magazine division of
Times Mirror Company
that includes
Field & Stream
,
Golf Magazine
,
Outdoor Life
,
Popular Science
,
Skiing
and
Yachting
from the
Tribune Company
for $475 million, the merger was subsequently completed in November of that year, forming Time4Media (the magazines in the division, with the exception of
Golf Magazine
and the Parenting Group were sold to
Bonnier Group
in 2007)
[26]
[27]
In January 2005, Time Inc. announced that it would purchase a remaining stake in New York City-based Essence Communications, publishers of the
Essence
magazine that it not already own. (Time already purchased 49% stake in the magazine in 2000)
[28]
In 2008, Time Inc. launched
Maghound
, an internet-based magazine membership service that featured approximately 300 magazine titles from both Time Inc. brands and external publishing companies.
[29]
On January 19, 2010, Time Inc. acquired StyleFeeder, a personal shopping engine.
[30]
In August 2010, Time Inc. announced that
Ann S. Moore
, its chairman and chief executive, would step down as CEO and be replaced by
Jack Griffin
, an executive with
Meredith Corporation
, the nation's second-largest publisher of consumer magazines.
[31]
In September 2010, Time Inc. entered into a licensing agreement with
Kolkata
-based
ABP Group
, one of India's largest media conglomerates, to publish
Fortune India
magazine and the yearly
Fortune India 500
list.
[32]
Griffin was ousted after a brief tenure, eventually being replaced by Laura Lang, who served about a year.
[33]
[34]
Split
[
edit
]
On March 6, 2013, Time Warner announced plans to
spin-off
Time Inc. into a publicly traded company.
[35]
Time Warner
's chairman/CEO
Jeff Bewkes
said that the split would allow Time Warner to focus entirely on its television and film businesses, and Time Inc. to focus on its core print media businesses.
[36]
It was announced in May 2014 that Time Inc. would become a
publicly traded company
on June 6 of that year.
[37]
The spin-off was completed on June 9, 2014.
[38]
As of September 13, 2016, Rich Battista was promoted to president and CEO, replacing Joseph A. Ripp.
Time Inc. purchased
American Express Publishing Corporation
's suite of titles, including
Travel + Leisure
,
Food & Wine

[42]
with most of the layoffs at American Express Publishing.
[35]
From April 2014 to mid-2017, the Chairman of Time Inc. was Joseph A. Ripp, who had been Chief Executive since September 2013 and continued as Executive Chairman when replaced as CEO by Battista.
[43]
[44]
Though Ripp had intended to remain Executive Chairman until 2018,
[45]
he wound up leaving the board in 2017 and
John Fahey
served as non-executive chairman for the months prior to the company's sale to Meredith.
[46]
On May 28, 2015, Time Inc. announced the purchase of entertainment and sports news site

[49]
[50]
The three companies will be a part of Sports Illustrated Play.
[51]
[52]
After attempting a few TV shows in 2014 and 2015, the company formed Time Inc. Productions in 2016 as its in-house production company.
[53]
On February 11, 2016, Time Inc. announced that it has acquired Viant, a leading people based marketing platform and owner of
MySpace
.
[54]
With the purchase of Time Warner by AT&T, it was agreed that Time Warner television assets such as HBO also came under the AT&T umbrella;
[55]
after
WarnerMedia
spun off from AT&T in 2021, these assets came under the fold of
Warner Bros. Discovery
.
[56]
[57]
Meredith and IAC purchases
[
edit
]
In February 2017, it was reported that
Meredith Corporation
and a group of investors led by
Edgar Bronfman Jr.
were considering purchasing Time Inc.
[58]
In 2016, Time Inc. acquired
Bizrate Insights
.
[59]
On April 28, 2017, the company's board of directors dropped the plan of selling the company and instead focus on growth strategies.
[60]
On November 26, 2017, it was announced that Meredith Corporation would acquire Time Inc. in a $2.8 billion deal. $640 million in backing will be provided by
Koch Equity Development
, but the Koch family will not have a board seat or otherwise influence the company's operations.
[61]
[62]
Prior to the sale closing in January 2018, Time Inc. sold
Essence Communications
to Richelieu Dennis, the founder of hair- and skin-care products maker Sundial Brands.
[63]
In January 2018, Meredith removed signage and references to Time, Inc., and Time, Inc. website was redirected to the Meredith's website.

and Time Inc. UK was sold to the British private equity group Epiris (later rebranded to
TI Media
) in late February.
[67]
In September 2018, Meredith announced that it would re-sell
Time
to
Marc Benioff
and his wife Lynne for $190 million. Although Benioff is the chairman and co-CEO of
Salesforce.com
,
Time
will remain separate from the company, and Benioff will not be involved in its daily operations.
[68]

[75]
[76]
Leadership
[
edit
]
In the early years, when the company was just
Time
magazine, Luce served as business manager while Hadden was editor-in-chief, and they annually alternated the positions of president and secretary-treasurer. On Hadden's sudden death in 1929 Luce took his position and business management was entrusted to Roy E. Larsen, who had been one of their first hires. Luce cultivated a philosophy of "church and state", where the editorial and business management were separate up to the board of directors level. (This was functionally ended with the departure of McManus from the Time Warner board, and formally by Ripp in 2013).
[77]
Editors-in-chief
[
edit
]
McManus left the board of what had become Time Warner shortly before retiring,
[78]
and his replacement
Norman Pearlstine
and successors
John Huey
(2006-2012) and Martha Nelson (2013) were never directors of the parent. The title was then abolished.
Presidents
[
edit
]
- Luce (alternating with Hadden to 1929) to 1939
- 1939?1960 Roy E. Larsen (then chairman executive committee to 1969,then vice chairman to shortly before his death in 1979)
- 1960?1969 James A. Linen
[79]
- 1969?1980
James R. Shepley
[80]
- 1980?1986 J. Richard Munro
- 1986?1990 Nicholas J. Nicholas Jr.
Linen became chairman of the executive committee for a time after serving as president, then was succeeded by Shepley, who retained that position for a time after he, in turn, stepped down as president.
Chairmen of the board
[
edit
]
Davidson also served as chairman of the executive committee after stepping down as chairman of the board.
Munro was chairman of the executive committee of Time Warner from 1990 to 1996.
Chief executive officers
[
edit
]
- 1964??1980 Heiskell
- 1980?1990 Munro
On the merger with
Warner Communications
Munro and then Nicholas were co-CEOs of Time Warner with
Steve Ross
until 1992 when Ross squeezed Nicholas out.
[82]
Gerald M. Levin
, who had come up through Time's non-publishing operations, succeeded Ross later that year and in 2002 was succeeded by
Richard Parsons
who had never been connected to legacy Time Inc. (his successor
Jeff Bewkes
, leader of the parent when Time Inc. was spun off, had like Levin come from the non-publishing operations).
Heads of Time within a parent
[
edit
]
The Time, Inc. (the comma remained part of the formal title until the Warner merger but the company ceased to use it in 1933)
[83]
corporate entity diversified out of publishing in the 1970s and 1980s, purchasing what was later spun off as
Temple-Inland
paper company and various broadcasting and cable television operations such as
HBO
and what became
Time Warner Cable
. As the distinction between the overall corporation and the magazine operation grew, the position that had been "Group Vice President, Magazines" or "Executive Vice President, Magazines" became president and chief executive of a "magazine group" in 1985
[84]
(under Kelso F. Sutton to 1986,and then Reginald K. Brack Jr.)
[85]
and then became president and CEO of a newly incorporated subsidiary,"The Time Inc. Magazine Company" in 1988
[86]
(initially with John A. Meyers as chairman). In 1992, Time Warner reorganized so that the non-magazine parts of Time Inc. came directly under the parent and the Time Inc. name was downgraded to only include the magazine company, so the officers of the "Magazine Company" became the officers of what was now Time Inc. Later that year, CEO Brack shifted to chairman with
Don Logan
as president; he stepped down in favor of Logan as CEO in 1994 and chairman in 1997.
[87]
Logan moved up to a group oversight position including additional Time Warner operations in 2002 (
Ann S. Moore
succeeding him at the magazine operation) and left the company in 2005. Leaders after Moore are noted above.
