Parade (magazine)
Parade was an American nationwide Sunday newspaper magazine, distributed in more than 700 newspapers nationwide in the United States until 2022. The most widely read magazine in the U.S., Parade had a circulation of 32 million and a readership of 54.1 million. Anne Krueger had been the magazine's editor since 2015.
The November 13, 2022, issue was the final edition printed and inserted in newspapers nationwide, but Parade continued as an e-magazine on newspaper websites. The December 31, 2023, edition was the final e-magazine edition.
Parade now exists as a website and emailed newsletter for those who sign up for it.[citation needed]
The magazine was founded by Marshall Field department store heir Marshall Field III in 1941, with the first issue published May 31 as Parade: The Weekly Picture Newspaper for 5 cents per copy. It sold 125,000 copies that year. In early 1946, Field recruited Arthur Harrison Motley, then-publisher of The American Magazine, to be Parade's new publisher. At the time, Parade had a print circulation of approximately 2.1 million; by October of that year, circulation had grown to over 3.6 million, and by 1960, it had reached nearly 10 million, with the magazine's gross revenue having grown from $1.8M (in 1946 dollars) to $25M (in 1960 dollars).
John Hay Whitney, publisher of the New York Herald Tribune, bought Parade in 1958, on the condition that Motley remain as publisher for at least five more years. Booth Newspapers purchased it in 1973. Booth was purchased by Advance Publications in 1976, and Parade became a separate operating unit within Advance.
In 2014, Athlon Media Group (later called AMG/Parade and now known as Parade Media) purchased it from Advance Publications. In 2022, The Arena Group (formerly The Maven), which also operates Sports Illustrated, TheStreet and numerous other brands, bought Parade from Athlon for $16 million as a mix of cash and equity.
Beginning on the weekend of December 28, 2019, Parade changed its publishing schedule to skip up to six weekends a year, planning to publish combined holiday issues. The first such combined publication was a Christmas-themed issue published the weekend of December 21, 2019. The magazine published the weekend of April 4, 2020, also covered the weekend of April 11; Easter was April 12. No magazine was published on the weekend of May 2, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The magazine published the weekend of May 16 also covered the weekend of May 23; Memorial Day was May 25. The magazine published the weekend of June 27 also covered the weekend of July 4, Independence Day. The magazine published the weekend of August 29 also covered the weekend of September 5; Labor Day was September 7. The magazine published the weekend of December 19 also covered the weekend of December 26. In 2021, the magazine was not scheduled to be published the weekends of April 3, May 29, July 3, July 31, September 4 or December 25.
In September 2022, The Arena Group announced that Parade would end print publication in November, but would continue in its online incarnation. The final printed edition, initially planned for November 6, ran November 13, 2022. The final e-edition ran December 31, 2023.
