Dubai Telegraph - Back to Life: model Kloss bringing back beloved US magazine

Bedford Media announced in a statement that the return of Life Magazine in print and digital distribution, as part of an agreement with (publisher) Dotdash Meredith, will lead to the relaunch of Life as a regular publication.

The financial details of the deal were not immediately disclosed, nor was a date for the relaunch.

In a world of dizzying social and legacy media possibilities, Kloss, one of the top models in the early 2000s, said Life could help bring people together, according to the statement.

"Josh and I are honored to continue @LIFE’s legacy ❤," she said on Instagram.

She was referring to her husband, investor Joshua Kushner, the new owner of the magazine. Kushner is brother of former president Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.

Created in 1883, and then bought and overhauled in 1936, Life has long been a flagship of photojournalism, publishing images captured by huge talents like Robert Capa, Alfred Eisenstaedt and Margaret Bourke-White. From movie stars to wars, Life chronicled the times for decades.

But after years of decline, it became a monthly, before dying out then reborn and finally surviving online with its archives in the 2000s.

Kloss recently went shopping for i-D magazine, a British fashion bimonthly.

For an old-school feel, the publisher will also continue to publish special editions stamped with the red and white Life logo.
