History and organization
Fortune was founded by Time co-founder Henry Luce in February 1930, four months after the Wall Street Crash of 1929 that marked the outset of the Great Depression. Briton Hadden, Luce's partner, wasn't enthusiastic about the idea, but Luce went forward with it after Hadden's October 15, 1929 death (of streptococcus).[2] Image File history File links Fortune-1941-6. ...

Year 1930 (MCMXXX) was a common year starting on Wednesday (link is to a full 1930 calendar). ...
The The Wall Street Crash of 1929, also called the Great Crash or the Crash of 29, was the stock-market crash that occurred in late October 1929. ...
The Great Depression was an economic downturn which started in 1929 and lasted through most of the 1930s. ...
October 15 is the 288th day of the year (289th in leap years). ...
1929 (MCMXXIX) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will take you to calendar). ...
Luce wrote a memo to the Time, Inc. board in November 1929, "We will not be over-optimistic. We will recognize that this business slump may last as long as an entire year."[3] Single copies of that first issue cost $1 at a time when the Sunday New York Times was only 5c.[3] At a time when business publications were little more than numbers and statistics printed in black and white, Fortune was an oversized 11"x14", using creamy heavy paper, and great art on a cover printed by a special process.[4] Fortune was also noted for its photography, featuring the work of Margaret Bourke White and others. Walker Evans served as its photography editor from 1945-1965. The New York Times is an internationally known daily newspaper published in New York City and distributed in the United States and many other nations worldwide. ...
Walker Evans Walker Evans (November 3, 1903 â April 10, 1975) was an American photographer made famous by his work for the Farm Security Administration documenting the effects of the Great Depression. ...
An urban legend says that art director T M Clelland mocked up the cover of the first issue with the $1 price because nobody had yet decided how much to charge; the magazine was printed before anyone realized it, and when people saw it for sale, they thought that the magazine must really have worthwhile content. In fact, there were 30,000 subscribers who'd already signed up to receive that initial 184-page issue.[4], Fortune claims their circulation has risen from 833,000[5] to 857,000[6] in that period. A theme of Fortune is its regular publishing of researched and ranked lists. In the human resources field, for example, their Best Companies to Work For list is an industry benchmark. Its most famous lists rank companies by gross revenue and profile their businesses: Human resources has at least two meanings depending on context. ...

In August 2006, CNNMoney.com published a feature from Fortune magazine which recommended books and websites focused on the world's top five companies, as ranked in the "Fortune Global 500". In a novel twist, each company website was featured alongside a website taking a critical view of the company's activities. For example, the recommended websites for Royal Dutch Shell, listed as number 3 in the rankings, was Shell's own portal website shell.com along with royaldutchshellplc.com which focuses on alleged negative aspects of the oil giant. The unstated but logical purpose of the recommendations was to allow the public, investors and shareholders to arrive at a balanced view of each company, taking into account the positive and negative information available from the recommended websites. The Fortune 500 is a ranking of the top 500 United States corporations as measured by gross revenue. ...
