# TIME > Tell the stories that matter most TIME is a media company that provides news coverage and journalism across politics, business, culture, and global affairs. TIME is a media company that produces journalism and reporting on global events. It publishes articles, photography, and analysis covering politics, business, culture, science, and world affairs, reaching readers through a print magazine and digital platforms. Its audience spans general readers, subscribers, and businesses seeking trusted reporting on current events. The company delivers content through both a legacy print magazine and an expanded set of digital properties, reflecting a shift from a single weekly publication toward a broader media operation. It has explored blockchain-related initiatives, including accepting cryptocurrency as a payment method for digital subscriptions and issuing a collection of non-fungible tokens tied to its editorial archive and commissioned artwork. These initiatives operate separately from its core newsroom functions. Beyond its flagship publication, TIME's offerings include a film and television production division, live events and summits, and additional digital platforms covering recommendations and climate topics. It is used by readers, subscribers, and business audiences for reporting, analysis, and recognition franchises spanning influential people, inventions, and global rankings. - Type: Company - Sector: Media - Status: Active - Founded: 1923-03-03 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/time ## Products - [TIME Digital Subscription](https://thegrid.id/profiles/time): TIME Digital Subscription is a news and media subscription service that provides unlimited digital access to TIME articles, photography, and analysis.
