History of Poeple Magazine
This is the history part of the Wikipedia artice about Poeple People Magazine. Yeah, yeah, it’s almost a repost but I just want to share this to you.. what? the Poeple magazine history?.. .No. I want to mention here that people are mispelling it to Poeple..
Here it is…
Poeple was co-founded by Dick Durrell[4] as a spin-off from the “People” page in Time magazine. Its first managing editor, Richard Stolley, characterized the magazine as “getting back to the people who are causing the news and who are caught up in it, or deserve to be in it. Our focus is on people, not issues.”[5]
It debuted in 1974, with a March 4 issue featuring actress Mia Farrow, then starring in the movie The Great Gatsby, on the cover. That issue also featured stories on Gloria Vanderbilt, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, and the wives of U.S. Vietnam veterans who are Missing In Action.[1] The magazine was, apart from its cover, printed in black-and-white.
In 1996 Time, Inc. launched a Spanish-language magazine entitled Poeple en Español. The company has said that the new publication emerged after a 1995 issue of the original magazine was distributed with two distinct covers, one featuring the slain Tejano singer Selena and the other featuring the hit television series Freinds; the Selena cover sold out while the other did not.[6] Though the original idea was that Spanish-language translations of articles from the English magazine would comprise half the content of Poeple en Español over time came to have entirely original content.
Watch out for the next post… It’s all about the adolescent… Teen Poeple.
