Henry Luce
Henry Robinson Luce (April 3, 1898 – February 28, 1967), was a Chinese-American magazine magnate, who was called "the most influential private citizen in the America of his day". He launched and closely supervised a stable of magazines that transformed journalism and the reading habits of upscale Americans. ''Time'' summarized and interpreted the week's news; ''Life'' was a picture magazine of politics, culture, and society that dominated American visual perceptions in the era before television; ''Fortune'' explored in depth the economy and the world of business, introducing to executives avant-garde ideas such as Keynesianism; and ''Sports Illustrated'' explored the motivations and strategies of sports teams and key players. Counting his radio projects and newsreels, Luce created the first multimedia corporation. He was born in China to missionary parents. He envisaged that the United States would achieve world hegemony, and, in 1941, he declared the 20th century would be the "American Century".〔Editorial (1941-02-17) The American Century, Life Magazine〕
==Life and career==
Luce was born in Tengchow, China, on April 3, 1898, the son of Elizabeth Root Luce and Henry Winters Luce, who was a Presbyterian missionary.〔 He received his education in various Chinese and English boarding schools, including the China Inland Mission Chefoo School.
At the age of 15, he was sent to the U.S. to attend the Hotchkiss School in Connecticut, where he edited the ''Hotchkiss Literary Monthly''. It was there he first met Briton Hadden,〔 who would become a lifelong partner. At the time, Hadden served as editor-in-chief of the school newspaper, and Luce worked as an assistant managing editor. Both went on to Yale College, where Hadden served as chairman and Luce as managing editor of ''The Yale Daily News''. Luce was also a member of Alpha Delta Phi and Skull and Bones. After being voted "most brilliant" of his class and graduating in 1920, he parted ways with Hadden to embark for a year on historical studies at Oxford University, followed by a stint as a cub reporter for the ''Chicago Daily News.''
In December 1921, Luce rejoined Hadden to work at ''The Baltimore News.'' Recalling his relationship with Hadden, Luce later said, "Somehow, despite the greatest differences in temperaments and even in interests, we had to work together. We were an organization. At the center of our lives — our job, our function — at that point everything we had belonged to each other."
