Abstract
Critics have long accused Henry Luce, a fervent anti-Communist, of using his Time, Incorporated media vehicles, particularly Time magazine, to promote causes and governments which he supported, such as General Chiang Kai-shek's Chinese Nationalist government in the Chinese civil war and pro-American regimes in the Korean and Vietnam wars. The theme throughout was always to fight Communist regimes, and he developed his staff and reporters along this ideological line until he stepped away from his official duties at Time, Inc. leaving the magazines in the hands of seasoned, professional journalists, such as Hedley Donovan. This article analyzes coverage by the leading U.S. news magazines during the early period of the Chinese “Cultural Revolution” to determine if Luce's anti-Communist legacy remained after he left the organization.
