Time

Time is an American weekly news magazine founded in 1923, one of the highest-circulation English-language publications in the world. It is best known for its Person of the Year franchise, distinctive red-border cover, and long-form political reporting. Since 2018 it has been owned by Salesforce founder Marc Benioff and his wife Lynne, who acquired it from Meredith Corporation for $190 million.

In coverage of the Iran conflict, Time joined a joint investigation with the New York Times and CNN into the strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh elementary school in Minab, which killed approximately 180 girls aged 7 to 12. The investigation concluded that a US Tomahawk missile using outdated targeting data was likely responsible — one of the conflict's gravest accountability questions.

The investigation has drawn no official US response, leaving Time and its co-investigators in a politically exposed position: three newsrooms insisting on attributing civilian deaths to a US weapon while the Pentagon declines to engage. The credibility of Time's investigative unit is now directly staked on whether the attribution is ever confirmed.
