History

The first issue of Money magazine was published in October 1972 by Time Inc.[4]

The magazine, along with Fortune, was a partner with sister cable network CNN in CNNMoney.com, an arrangement made after the discontinuation of the CNNfn business news channel in 2005. In 2014, following the spin-off of Time Inc. from its and CNN's parent Time Warner, Money launched its own website, Money.com.[5]

The magazine was put up for sale after Meredith Corporation completed its acquisition of Time Inc. at the beginning of 2018. After failing to find a buyer, Meredith in April 2019 announced that it would cease Money's print publication, but would invest in the brand's digital component, Money.com.[6] Money published its last print issue in June 2019. The printed magazine's remaining 400,000 or so subscribers were transferred to Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine.[7]

In October 2019, Meredith Corporation sold the Money brand and website to Ad Practitioners LLC, a media and advertising company based in Puerto Rico that runs the product review website ConsumersAdvocate.org.[3] Terms for the deal were not disclosed. Ad Practitioners LLC does not have plans to relaunch a print version of Money.
