Henry Anatole Grunwald (December 3, 1922 - February 26, 2005) was an Austrian-born journalist and diplomat perhaps best known for his position as managing editor of “Time” magazine and editor in chief of Time, Inc.

Grunwald got a job as a copy boy at “Time” while studying at New York University after immigrating to America from Vienna. Grunwald worked his way up at “Time” magazine until his retirement in 1987. He began to give “Time” writers bylines, a practice which had not been allowed previously. He also introduced new departments such as Behavior, Energy, The Sexes, Economy and Dance. He ordered the famous (some say infamous) cover article, “Is God Dead?” He moved the magazine away from Republican partisanship. He personally wrote the “Time” editorial calling for President Richard Nixon to resign.

After serving 11 years as Time’s managing editor, Grunwald took on the role of editor-in-chief of all of Time, Inc’.s magazines, including Fortune, Sports Illustrated, People and Money. In 1988 President Ronald Reagan appointed him U.S. Ambassador to his native Austria, a post he held until 1990.
