Grunwald, Henry

Grunwald, Henry
▪ 2006

      Austrian-born American magazine editor (b. Dec. 2, 1922, Vienna, Austria—d. Feb. 26, 2005, New York, N.Y.), introduced the most extensive innovations to the format of Time magazine as its managing editor following the death of founder Henry Luce. After joining Time as a copy boy in 1944, Grunwald was elevated to foreign correspondent one year later and quickly advanced to become the magazine's youngest senior editor at age 28. Promoted to managing editor in 1968, Grunwald departed from Time's traditional format by featuring new sections on the economy, the environment, behaviour, and gender; adding colour photographs, more original reporting that included bylines for writers, and guest essays written by famous experts; and introducing special issues devoted solely to one topic. The magazine also loosened its conservative political views; Grunwald's first editorial asked for the resignation of U.S. Pres. Richard Nixon as a result of the Watergate scandal. After serving (1979–87) as editor in chief of Time, Inc., Grunwald retired, and in 1988 Pres. Ronald Reagan appointed him ambassador to Austria.
