I’ve subscribed to Time magazine on & off since the late 60’s and while I have not always agreed with some of its coverage, overall I have have found it a very interesting weekly general news magazine, still superior than its main rival, Newsweek!
This year it celebrates its 85th year and it has put together a some articles to celebrate its coverage (with selected front c0ver images) of some of those stories such as Lindbergh’s flight, WWII, Vietnam, Watergate, the fall of the USSR and the rise of the Internet and of course Iraq.
Of course much more is covered in the review and that can be found in the PDF download here.
It is a shame that the UK has not had a publication that stretches back over a similar period. Of course, we do have our national daily newspapers, but with its blend of excellent photography (some also published in its excellent sister publication LIFE) and world-wide network of journalists, it has continued to keep informed from a different perspective on many subjects not covered elsewhere. Happy Birthday TIME.
