Hedley Donovan
Hedley Donovan (May 24, 1914 – August 13, 1990) was editor in chief of
Time Inc. from 1964 to 1979. In this capacity, he oversaw all of the company's magazine publications, including ''Time'', ''Life'', ''Fortune'', ''Sports Illustrated'', ''Money'', and ''People''. Hand-picked by founder
Henry Luce, Donovan redirected the magazine from its historically
conservative orientation to a more objective editorial stance, particularly with respect to the
Vietnam War. The Hedley Donovan Award was created in 1999 by the Minnesota Magazines and Publications Association to recognize individuals who have shown outstanding lifelong dedication and contributions to Minnesota's magazine industry.
