Printing plates

Madeline Vega

When Meredith bought out and then moved into the last building Time built, the first thing Luis relayed was there were printing plates covering the walls by the elevators. It’s one of those bizarre things you can’t really explain to a generation that sees everything 3D printed. (Throw back to Page 5.) I had to see the plates, but I also had kids to drop off and pick up from school. It took until Dotdash bought Meredith to suddenly make time to pay homage to the plates while I could. The same way Hamilton is super out of fashion now, I’m sure Henry Luce is the pinnacle of main stream media telling the general public what to think about world events. But I loved Time Inc. I moved to New York very suddenly to be a TI custom publishing intern. Let me have a minute.

When Madeline worked for Time Inc., the AOL deal was falling apart and this view was a smoldering mess.

In my head, whoever is tearing plates off the walls thinks they are a real print person and would not want to see the Luce Auditorium renamed.
