The New York-based media holding company owned by fashion model Karlie Kloss and her husband, Joshua Kushner, announced Thursday that it would relaunch the famed magazine as a regular newsstand publication. The title was long one of the anchor publications of Henry Luce’s Time Inc. magazine empire in the mid-20th century.
The L-A Times reports a representative for Bedford said the publication frequency is still to be determined but the title will most likely launch as a quarterly. The first issue is scheduled for early 2025. The new Life will have a website and branded digital and audio products as well.
The picture-driven Life was a major chronicler of the nation and world until it ceased weekly publication in the 1970s, supplanted by television news. The title was revived as a monthly, which published until 2000, and later as a Sunday newspaper insert, which ended in 2007.
Bedford will try to bring Life back at a time when many print publications are declining as they have been decimated by online competition. Numerous major magazine brands such as Entertainment Weekly, Time and Sports Illustrated have scaled back operations while others have shuttered.
