Sports Illustrated is an American sports magazine owned by Meredith Corporation. First published in August 1954. It was the first magazine with circulation over one million to win the National Magazine Award for General Excellence twice. There were two magazines named Sports Illustrated before the current magazine began on August 16, 1954. In 1936, Stuart Scheftel created Sports Illustrated with a target market for the sportsman. He published the magazine from 1936 to 1938. He then sold the name to Dell Publications, which released Sports Illustrated in 1949 and this lasted 6 issues before closing. There was no large-base, general, weekly sports magazine with a national following on actual active events. Time patriarch Henry Luce began considering whether his company should fill that gap. Luce decided the time was right. More
