25 Visionary Magazine Covers




« back to classes page
ClassGraphic For the past 100 years, major national magazines, with their inimitable, news-making covers, envisaged some of America's  most significant cultural movements. New York Times’ T Magazine selected national magazine covers that documented and drove these changes. The resulting wide-ranging article, “The 25 Most Influential Magazine Covers of All Time” (New York Times, October 1, 2025 ), is the resource for our history-covering study group. Covers include: Martin Luther King, Jr.—Ebony (1968), View of the World from 9th Avenue—The New Yorker (1976), Mohammed Ali , Esquire (1968), John and Yoko—Rolling Stone (1981), and  Ellen DeGeneres’ “Yep, I Am”—Time (1997). In addition, we will add our own short-list of influential cover stories as we prepare to discuss decades of change and the magazines that covered them. Join us in 2026 as we turn the pages!
