History
The first issue of Money magazine was published in October 1972 by Time Inc.[4]
The magazine, along with Fortune, partnered with sister cable network CNN in CNNMoney.com after the discontinuation of the CNNfn business news channel in 2005. In 2014, following Time Inc.'s spin-off from its parent company Time Warner, which also owned CNN, Money launched its website, Money.com.[5]
After Meredith Corporation acquired Time Inc. at the beginning of 2018, Money was put up for sale. In April 2019, Meredith announced the discontinuation of Money's print publication due to a lack of buyers, choosing instead to focus on the digital platform, Money.com.[6] The last print issue was published in June 2019.[7] The remaining subscribers were transferred to Kiplinger's Personal Finance.[8]
In October 2019, Meredith Corporation sold the Money brand and website to Money Group, formerly known as Ad Practitioners LLC,[9] a Puerto Rico-based media and advertising company that operates ConsumersAdvocate.org.[3] The terms of the deal were not disclosed, and Ad Practitioners LLC has not announced plans to relaunch a print version of Money.
