But when it did, through an appeal based on well-founded stories and articles about the business world, a prime interest at the time, its success was enormous; by 1922 it had a circulation of more than 2,000,000 and an advertising revenue in excess of $28,000,000.

The first to show how it could be done and so give rise to a whole new class of periodical was the United States newsmagazine Time, founded in 1923 by Briton Hadden and Henry Luce.

Independent Publishing Company Collection - Corporation record book of the company from incorporation in 1939.

In 1940, for instance, Esquire lost its piano advertisements after publishing an article recommending the guitar for musical accompaniment; six months later it tried to win them back with a rueful editorial apology.

Elsewhere, magazines in African languages have increased, as have those in English and French—e.g., the Nigerian Black Orpheus (founded 1957), containing creative writing by Africans and West Indians.

1969: National Journal is founded by Randy Smith and Anthony Stout.

The narrow focus did not work, however, and after spending a great deal of money, Smith walked away from the venture in 1975.

In 1979 Bradley launched a for-profit research firm, the Advisory Board, starting out with four Princess telephones and four card tables in his mother's apartment in the Watergate building.

CongressDaily, a twice-daily fax newsletter service covering the House of Representatives and the United States Senate was launched in 1991, but not without some controversy.

The company named a new chairman in 1995: Mark Willes, who had been vice-chairman at General Mills and a specialist in slashing costs. It suffered a net loss of more than $66 million in 1992, the first loss in three decades.

As was the case when Times Mirror purchased National Journal the sale of National Journal Group in 1997 to David G. Bradley was not noticed by the general public.

Bradley also used some of his new wealth in 1999 to acquire the 140-year-old Atlantic Monthly for $10 million from real estate magnate and publisher Mortimer Zuckerman.

By 2003, after several years of investing heavily, Bradley had produced strong results for NJ under his watch, as virtually everything--staff, circulation, revenues, and profits--had doubled in size.
