Forbes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Forbes is an American publishing and media company. Its flagship publication, Forbes magazine, is published bi-weekly. Its primary competitors in the national business magazine category are Fortune, which is also published bi-weekly, and BusinessWeek. Today the magazine is known for its lists, including its lists of the richest Americans (the Forbes 400) and its list of billionaires.


Company history

B.C. Forbes founded Forbes magazine in 1917 and remained Editor-in-Chief until his death in New York City in 1954, though assisted in his later years by Bruce Charles Forbes (1916–1964) and Malcolm Stevenson Forbes (1917–1990), his two eldest sons.

On Malcolm's death, his eldest son Malcolm Stevenson "Steve" Forbes Jr. (1947–) became President and Chief Executive of Forbes and Editor-in-Chief of Forbes magazine.[1] Between 1961 and 1999 the magazine was edited by James Michaels.[2] In 1993, under Michaels, Forbes was a finalist for the National Magazine Award.[3] In 2006, an investment group that includes rock star Bono bought a minority interest in the company.[4]


Other publications

Apart from Forbes and its lifestyle supplement, ForbesLife, the other titles published include Forbes Asia and eight local language editions.Steve Forbes and his magazine's writers offer investment advice on the weekly Fox TV show Forbes on Fox and on Forbes On Radio. Other company groups include Forbes Conference Group, Forbes Investment Advisory Group and Forbes Custom Media.

The company formerly published American Legacy magazine as a joint venture, although that magazine separated from Forbes as of May 14, 2007[5].

The company also formerly published American Heritage and Invention & Technology magazines. After failing to find a buyer, Forbes suspended publication of these two magazines as of May 14, 2007[6]. Those magazines have since been purchased by the American Heritage Publishing Company, and have resumed publication as of Spring 2008 [7].


Forbes.com

David Churbuck founded Forbes' Web site, Forbes.com, in 1996. The site uncovered Stephen Glass' journalistic fraud in The New Republic in 1998, an article that drew attention to internet journalism. The site, like the magazine, publishes many lists focusing on billionaires and their possessions, especially expensive homes, a critical aspect of the website's apparent popularity. [8] See a list of lists below.

Forbes.com employs the slogan "Home Page For The World's Business Leaders" and sometimes claims to be the world's most widely visited business web site.[9] The current president and chief executive officer is James J. Spanfeller; the current editor is Paul Maidment; the current managing editor is Carl Lavin,[10] who succeeded founding managing editor Michael Noer and Dan Bigman.[11]

According to Forbes.com, the Web site is among the most trusted resources for senior business executives, providing them the real-time reporting, uncompromising commentary, concise analysis, relevant tools and community they need to succeed at work, profit from investing and have fun with the rewards of winning. Throughout the business day Forbes.com publishes more than 3,500 articles and original video, delivering the best of Forbes journalism and that of its selected partners with all the immediacy, depth and interactivity that the Web allows.

Forbes.com also publishes subscription investment newsletters, a luxury-vehicles site, ForbesAutos edited by Matthew De Paula, and a luxury travel site, ForbesTraveler, edited by G. Barry Golson, the former executive editor of Playboy and TV Guide and former editor-in-chief of Yahoo! Internet Life, and an online guide to web sites, Best Of The Web.
