Extent

2 Linear feet in 2 record cartons

Scope and Contents

While some of Marshall Loeb's files relate to his positions as managing editor of Money and editor with the corporate Magazine Development Group, the majority document corporate editorial activities during his tenure as assistant to the editor-in-chief Henry Grunwald. According to the list of duties in his files, some of his reponsibilities which these files reflect were to: evaluate Edit-Publishing projects and proposals; oversee relations with Publishing of the foreign publication Asiaweek; oversee the Time Australia editorial policy agreement; oversee Time Inc. history; arrange a Time Inc. takeover conference; maintain contact with Video Group and keep Grunwald and McManus informed; work with Frank Trippet on his minority writers program; work with Don Wilson on distribution of the Time Inc. history publication by Curt Prendergast; and represent Grunwald at various corporate meetings, budget reviews, and industry conferences. Some records earlier than 1984 look like they were passed down by prior temporary corporate editorial staff.

Arrangement

Organized alphabetically.

Biographical Note

Marshall Loeb was a writer and editor at Time Inc. from 1956 to 1994. After holding positions at Time, Loeb became managing editor at Money in 1980. While holding this position, Loeb also served as an editor with the corporate Magazine Development Group.
