The first issue (Vol 1, Issue 1) of “Life” magazine is published.
Time
magazine's mission was to tell the news but Life publisher Henry Luce wanted
people to SEE the news, “to see life, to see the world”. It was a photo news magazine, the text was condensed as captions under the photos that covered 50 pages in an issue.
The photos captured the events and the
personal side of the news, allowing people to see the world in a whole
different way simply by showing it to them in a whole different way. At its peak, circulation was 8 million. Television impacted its demise and it stopped
publication in 1972, resurfacing in 2004 as a newspaper supplement.
