Time magazine has been based in
New York City since its first issue published on March 3, 1923, by Briton Hadden
and Henry Luce. It was the first weekly news magazine in the United States. The
two had previously worked together as chairman and managing editor,
respectively, of the Yale Daily News. They first called the proposed magazine
Facts, wanting to emphasize brevity so a busy man could read it in an hour. They
changed the name to Time and used the slogan "Take Time – It's Brief".Hadden was
considered carefree and liked to tease Luce. He saw Time as important but also
fun, which accounted for its heavy coverage of celebrities and politicians, the
entertainment industry and pop culture, criticizing it as too light for serious
news.
