-	'''''TIME''''' is a weekly [[American news]] [[magazine]], similar to ''[[Newsweek]]'' and ''[[U.S. News and World Report]].'' A European edition (''TIMEeurope'', formerly known as ''TIMEatlantic'') is published from [[London]]. ''TIMEeurope'' covers the [[Middle East]], [[Africa]] and (since 2003) [[Latin America]]. An Asian edition, (''TIMEasia''), is based in [[Hong Kong]].	+

-	The first issue of ''TIME'' was published on [[March 2]], [[1923]], preceding both of its major competitors and virtually inventing the weekly news magazine. It was co-founded in 1923 by [[Briton Hadden]] and [[Henry Luce]]. Hadden died in 1929, and Luce became the dominant man at ''TIME'' and a major figure in the history of [[20th century]] media. Hadden was a rather carefree figure, who liked to tease Luce and saw ''TIME'' as something important but also fun. That accounts for its tone, which many people still criticize as too light for serious news and more suited to its heavy coverage of celebrities (including politicians), the entertainment industry, and pop culture.	+

-	''TIME'' has always had its own writing style, parodied by [[Wolcott Gibbs]] this way (long before the [[Jedi]] master [[Yoda]] was created): "Backward ran sentences until reeled the mind. Where it would end, knows [[God]]."	+
-		+
-	''TIME'' became part of [[Time Warner]] in [[1989]] when Warner Communications and Time, Inc. merged. Since [[2000]], the magazine has been part of AOL Time Warner, which subsequently reverted to the name Time Warner in [[2003]].	+
-		+
-	The magazine's most famous feature over its 80 years has been the annual [[Man of the Year]]—recently renamed ''Person of the Year''—contest, in which ''TIME'' recognizes the individual or group of individuals who have had the biggest effect on the year's news. Despite the title, the recipient is not necessarily a human. In the past, even ideas and machines have received the honor. [[Albert Einstein]] was ''TIME'''s person of the century in its last edition of 1999.	+
