Life has been the name of two notable magazines published in the United States.

Life, the photojournalism magazine

The best known is Life, the photojournalism magazine founded by Henry Luce in 1936 and owned by Time Warner. Its first issue was dated November 23. The publication was a mammoth success. During the magazie's heyday - roughly from its launch until the early 1960s - Life was the most influential and popular magazine in America, with tens of millions of subscribers and readers. Its impact on American public opinion, especially among the exploding suburban middle class in the U.S, was almost incalculable.

Life was published weekly until dwindling circulations for magazines as a whole, coupled with rising advertising rates, caused the magazine to print its final weekly issue on December 29, 1972, (its annual "The Year in Pictures" edition). After that, Life was published semiannually until October 1978, when it was restarted as a monthly magazine. A weekly Life in Time of War was published for a month or two during the first Gulf War. Monthly publication ceased in May 2000.

Life's original mission was "to see Life; see the world." The magazine has published some of the most iconic images of events in the United States and the world. Scores of talented photographers were employed to take the most original and unique views on the world. Life also produced many excellent science serials such as The World We Live In and The Epic of Man.

Life 2004

Starting in October 2004, Life resumed weekly publication, this time as a supplement to U.S. newspapers. At its launch, it was distributed with over seventy newspapers; these had a combined circulation of over 12 million:

Life's ten most important events of the second millennium

The magazine ranked its top ten events of the millennium:

1. Printing by movable type (Johann Gutenberg, 1455)
2. Discovery of the New World (Christopher Columbus, 1492)
3. A new major religion (Martin Luther, 1527)
4. Steam engine starts industrial revolution (James Watt, 1769)
5. Discovery that Earth revolves around sun (Galileo Galilei, 1610)
6. Germ theory of disease (Louis Pasteur, 1864; Robert Koch, 1876)
7. Gunpowder weapons (China, 1100)
8. Declaration of Independence (United States) (1776)
9. Adolf Hitler comes to power (1933)
10. Compass goes to sea (China, 1117)

This list has been criticised for being overly focused on Western achievements. The Chinese, for example, had invented movable type four centuries before Gutenberg, but with thousands of ideograms, found its use impractical.

Life's 100 most important people of the second millennium

The magazine also published a list of the "100 Most Important People in the Last 1000 Years":

This list, too, was criticized for focusing on the West. Also, Edison's number one ranking was challenged since there were others whose inventions (combustion engine, car, electricity-making machines, for example) which had greater impact than Edison's. The top 100 list was further criticised for mixing world-famous people, such as Newton and Einstein and Pasteur and da Vinci, with numerous Americans largely unknown outside of the United States (18 Americans compared to 13 Italians and French, 12 English).

Life 1883 - 1930s

The first "Life Magazine" was a weekly humor publication put out by the Life Publishing Company of Manhattan, New York City. It was known for its energetic cartoons, pin up girl art, humorous pieces, and reviews of theater and cinema. The magazine was a forerunner of The New Yorker, with its use of cartoons, poetry, gags, similar cover artists, cultural listing roundups, and high-society élan .

In 1908 Robert Ripley published his first cartoon in Life, later becoming first publisher of Charles Schulz of Peanuts fame.

Norman Rockwell's first cover for Life, Tain't You, was published May 10, 1917. Rockwell's paintings were featured on Life's cover 28 times between 1917 and 1924.

In 1918 Charles Dana Gibson, the famous illustrator, became the magazine's president. The famed Gibson girls originally appeared in the magazine.

Among the contributors to this version of Life were:

• Robert Benchley, who was drama editor
• Dorothy Parker, who kicked in poems and stories
• Franklin Pierce Adams who wrote verse
• Robert E. Sherwood, the first silent film critic on the magazine before he became a playwright.

All were members of the Algonquin Round Table.

John Held, Jr. was one of the most popular cover artists of the era, known for his depictions of jazz musicians and flappers.

This edition of Life fell victim to the Great Depression, and ceased publication in the early 1930s. The name was then purchased by Henry Luce for use on his Time, Inc. magazine.
