It tells the news through people，and for many decades，the magazine’s cover depicted a single person.On Hadden’s death in 1929，Luce became the most important man at TIME and a major figure in the history of 20thcentury media. TIME is also known for its signature red border，first introduced in 1927.It has only changed four times since then.The issue released shortly after the September 11 attacks on the United States featured a black border to symbolize mourning.However，this edition was a special “extra” edition published quickly for the breaking news of the event；the next regularly scheduled issue contained the red border.Additionally，the April 28,2008 Earth Day issue，dedicated to environmental issues，contained a green border.The next change in border was in the September 19,2011 issue，commemorating the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks with a metallic silver border.The most recent change(again with a silver border) was in the December 31,2017 issue，noting Barack Obama’s selection as Man of the Year. |
