TIME trekt wederom de stekker uit Life
Time Inc. said on Monday it would stop publishing Life, the iconic photography magazine that has been a weekly newspaper insert since 2004. Although April 20 will be Life's last print issue, the brand name will survive on the Internet.
LIfe is the latest magazine to shut down as more readers desert print publications for online news and photos. Life has had more than one life since Time started publishing it in 1936. It shut down in 1972, but came back in 1978 before being shut down again in 2000.
Time will make Life's collection of 10 million images available online, with "the most important collection of imagery covering the events and people of the 20th century" available for free for personal use, it said.
The public has never seen more than 97 percent of the collection, which includes pictures by Alfred Eisenstaedt, Margaret Bourke-White and Gordon Parks, Time said.
