orandum sent to the stag last week by Editor-in-Chie
Hedley Donovan:
AM very happy to announce the appointment of Otto
Fuerbringer as chief explorer of Time Ine.'s interests
and opportunities in the newspaper field. As you all
know, the company hopes to develop a role in daily news-
paper journalism, and we are asking Fuerbringer to take
charge of our studies of where, when, and how. He will
i be directly responsible to Andrew Heiskell, Jim Linen
and myself..
Fuerbringcr cones to this new assignment from eight
notably successful years as managing editor of TIME.
Under his editorship, TIME'S worldwide circulation has
grown from 3,000,000 to 5,000.000, and the magazine
has been enri
h

e
oth in visual quality and in the
scope of its reporting, including such important new de-
partments as Law and Essay. Otto came to TIME as a
writer in 1942, after ten years as a reporter for the St.
Louis Post-Dispatch. He became a senior editor of TIME
in 1946, assistant managing editor in 1951, and manag-
ing editor in 1960. He is a journalist of extraordinary
enterprise, and the company is confident he will bring to
his new responsibilities the same imagination and judg-
ment that have distinguished his editorship of TIME.
Otto's successor will be Henry Grunwald. Henry is
up from copy boy, and has some other distinctions as
well. He has written in many departments of TIME (start-
ing in Foreign News in 1945), edited most of them,
and been the launching editor for several new depart-
ments, including Essay. He became a senior editor in
1951 and an assistant managing editor in 1966. He has
won wide respect among Time Inc. editors for fresh-
i ness of phrase and idea, and a remarkable intellectual
.depth and versatility.
I take great satisfaction, too, in announcing the pro-
motion of James Keogh to executive editor of TIME. Jim
came to TIME in 1951 from the Omaha World-Herald,
where he was city editor. He became a senior editor of
TIME in 1956, and an assistant managing editor in 1961.
He has edited every department of the magazine, sat in
often as acting managing editor, and supervised much of
the general flow of editorial administration and produc-
tion, all with distinct benefit to TIME'S staff and its
readers. The title of executive editor has not a
