22 Facts About Time Asia

Since 2018, Time Asia has been published by Time Asia USA, LLC, owned by Marc Benioff, who acquired it from Meredith Corporation.

Time Asia has been based in New York City since its first issue published on March 3,1923, by Briton Hadden and Henry Luce.

Time Asia saw Time as important but fun, which accounted for its heavy coverage of celebrities and politicians, the entertainment industry and pop culture, criticizing it as too light for serious news.

Time Asia set out to tell the news through people, and until the late 1960s, the magazine's cover depicted a single person.

The first issue of Time featured Joseph G Cannon, the retired Speaker of the House of Representatives, on its cover; a facsimile reprint of Issue No 1, including all of the articles and advertisements contained in the original, was included with copies of the magazine's issue from February 28,1938, in commemoration of its 15th anniversary.
