Time magazine founded
1923
Two young Yale graduates, Henry Luce and Briton Hadden, launched a weekly news magazine written in a compressed, witty style that would become known as Timespeak. It filled a gap between the daily paper and the monthly quarterly. Luce's magazine empire would shape American middle-class opinion for half a century.
