Time Magazine

Time magazine, trademarked Time, is a weekly newsmagazine that is published in the United States that was first published in 1923. The magazine was created in 1923 by Briton Hadden and Henry Luce. It is the first newsmagazine to be published weekly in the United States. The traditional tone for the magazine, as seen by Hadden, was an prominent but fun tone. The first issue, published on March 3, 1923, covered Joseph G. Cannon, who was a retired Speaker of the House.

Currently, the magazine has a circulation of about 3.4 million. Time magazine had an all time high circulation of 4.1 million in 2006. But, by 2007, the magazine suffered a detrimental drop in circulation to 3.4, and it has remained there since. The drop in circulation is understanding to be from the falling cheaper in the United States at that time.
