As an American weekly news magazine, Time Magazine subscription is possible worldwide because of various editions. There is the European edition published in London, the Asian edition published in Hong Kong, the South Pacific edition from Sydney, Australia. And previously, the Canadian edition which is now not published anymore.
Changes on the layout of Time magazine were made. The magazine has a unique red cover border to highlight a few featured stories. The column titles are bolder. The articles and opinions of writers are written in between wider line spacing. Plus a photo of the writers is also included. The layout changes gained criticisms and praises, but the main impact was on the Time Magazine subscription.
The creators of Time Magazine intended the magazine to provide serious content but still impact a fun and pleasurable reading experience. Today, contributors of Time Magazine provide the readers what they want to read. The diversity of topics covers politicians, industries, culture, entertainment and celebrities. Despite the good content in every weekly issue, the editor would break the monotony with the annual issue called “Person of the Year”. The cover story may not necessarily mean a single individual. Group of people may also be featured in this issue. What makes this issue different is what can be learned about the “Person of the Year”. To be featured in this edition, the cover story reveals about how the person or group of people greatly affected the news for the year. This is not restricted to a particular area of interest. Time Magazine subscription for such issue can always be considered a “collector’s item”.
Another special edition that is worth waiting for. It is the Time 100 Edition. This edition provides an annual list of the most influential people for the year. This edition has at least one hundred articles for each person on the list. But there are instances when there are actually over 100 people on the list because there are rankings which have more than one person filling a spot. Sometimes, an issue on “All Time Best 100” on different areas are also released as special editions. A different compilation on novels, movies and television shows has already been released.
Now, if you are thinking that Time Magazine subscription is only for the mature readers, think again. The Time For Kids magazine are published for distribution to children. For a touch of youth, the articles are written by a younger generation to be able to relay the message to children. The distribution of this edition is more often made in classrooms. Aside from the national news which children may find interesting, articles on kid’s stuff can also be read. And similar to the adult edition, there is also an annual issue published for environment awareness of the youth which is very useful for library collection of schools.
Time Magazine subscription goes beyond mature readers. The children are never too young to be aware of what is happening in this world
