Matches in DBpedia 2014 for { ?s ?p LIFE was an American magazine that from 1883 to 1972 was published as a humor and general interest magazine. Time founder Henry Luce bought the magazine in 1936 solely so that he could acquire the rights to its name when it became a weekly news magazine launched by Luce as a weekly news magazine with a strong emphasis on photojournalism. LIFE was published weekly until 1972, as an intermittent "special" until 1978, and as a monthly from 1978 to the present. It became a weekly newspaper supplement published by Time Inc. from 2004 to 2007 and was included in some American newspapers. The website life.com existed from March 2009 to the present, as a joint venture with Getty Images under the name See Your World, LLC, which on January 30, 2012 became a photo channel on Time.com.When LIFE was founded in 1883, it was similar to Puck and was published for 53 years as a general-interest light entertainment magazine, heavy on illustrations, jokes and social commentary. It featured some of the greatest writers, editors and cartoonists of its era, including Charles Dana Gibson, Norman Rockwell and Harry Oliver. During its later years the magazine offered brief capsule reviews (similar to those in The New Yorker) of plays and movies currently running in New York City, but with the innovative touch of a colored typographic bullet appended to each review resembling a traffic light: green for a positive review, red for a negative one and amber for mixed notices.The Luce LIFE was the first all-photographic American news magazine and it dominated the market for more than 40 years. The magazine sold more than 13.5 million copies a week at one point and was so popular that President Harry S. Truman, Sir Winston Churchill and General Douglas MacArthur all serialized their memoirs in its pages. Luce purchased the rights to the name from the publishers of the first LIFE but sold its subscription list and features to another magazine; there was no editorial continuity between the two publications.Perhaps one of the best-known pictures printed in the magazine was Alfred Eisenstaedt’s photograph of a nurse in a sailor’s arms, snapped on August 27, 1945, as they celebrated VJ Day in New York City. The magazine's place in the history of photojournalism is considered its most important contribution to publishing.LIFE was wildly successful for two generations before its prestige was diminished by economics and changing tastes. Since 1972 LIFE has twice ceased publication and resumed in a different form, before ceasing once again with the issue dated April 20, 2007. The brand name continues on the Internet and in occasional special issues.. }
