TIME MAGAZINE

 Time is an American  magazine published in New York City. It was founded in 1923 and for decades was controlled, who built a high profit stable of magazines.

The European edition is published in London and also covers the Middle East, Africa and, since 2003, Latin America. An Asian edition  is based in Hong Kong. The South Pacific edition, which covers Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, is based in Sydney, Australia.

Time has the world's largest circulation for a weekly news magazine, and has a readership of 26 million, Other than news, in recent years,Time has started a list of the 100 most influential people of the year, originally what was the top 100 people of the 20th century. These issues usually have the front cover filled with pictures of people from the list and devote a substantial amount of space within the magazine to the 100 articles about each person on the list. There have, in some cases, been over 100 people, when two people have made the list together, sharing one spot.

After Time magazine began publishing its weekly issues in March 1923, Roy Larsen was able to increase its circulation by U.S. radio and movie theaters around the world. It often promoted both Time magazine and U.S. political and corporate interests. According to The March of Time, as early as 1924, Larsen had brought Time into the infant radio business with the broadcast of a 15-minute sustaining quiz show entitled Pop Question which survived until 1925". Then, in 1928, Larsen "undertook the weekly broadcast of a 10-minute programmed series of brief news summaries, drawn from current issues of Time magazine.
