Life Magazine Logo — Life is a magazine U.S. with various stages of development. In the first, was a humor magazine and general information published from 1883 to 1936. In 1936, Henry Luce, the founder of Time, purchased all rights to this magazine solely to acquire the rights to his name, after which it became a publication created by him, with great emphasis on photojournalism. Life appeared as a weekly until 1972, as “special” intermittently until 1978, a monthly magazine from 1978 to 2000, as a weekly supplement of several newspapers from 2004 to 2007.

It was founded in 1883 and was similar to the magazine of humor and political satire Puck . It was published for 53 years as a magazine of general interest and entertainment, with lots of illustrations, jokes, and social commentary. It appeared some of the great writers, editors and cartoonists of the time in the United States, including Charles Dana Gibson, Norman Rockwell, and Harry Oliver. During the following years, this magazine offered brief capsule with criticism within your magazine (similar to those that appeared in The New Yorker) about the movies that premiered in New York, but with the innovative touch of a colorful font for each criticism, resembling a traffic light: green for a positive review, red for negative, and amber mixed news.
The magazine Life of Henry Luce was the first magazine full of pictures related news and dominated the market for over forty years. The magazine was selling more than 13.5 million copies each week in one place and was so popular that President Harry S. Truman, Sir Winston Churchill and General Douglas MacArthur published their memoirs in its pages.
Perhaps one of the most famous images that have been printed in the magazine was a shot of Alfred Eisenstaedt of a nurse in a sailor’s arms, caught the 27 August of 1945, when they celebrated the victory over Japan in New York. It is considered that the site of the magazine in the history of photojournalism is the most important because of its contribution and publication. Luce bought the naming rights to the editors of the first version of Life but sold its list of subscriptions and other magazine appearances, there was no continuity in the editorial line between the two publications.
Life was a great success for two generations, but then his prestige was diminished by economic problems and new challenges. Since 1972, Life ceased publication twice, only to be bought back by readers at different times. Time Inc. announced on March 26th of 2007 it would cease publication of Life on April 20, 2007, which was the last day of the print edition of Life. The brand will continue online, as explained Time Inc. (a section of Time Warner) in a statement.
