Founded in 1933 by Arnold Gingrich, David A. Smart, and Henry L. Jackson, Esquire magazine was created to cater to the interests of sophisticated male readers. The founders envisioned a publication that would combine literary content with fashion and lifestyle features. Today, Esquire is owned by Hearst Communications, one of the largest media companies in the United States. Esquire covers a wide range of topics including men's fashion, politics, entertainment, technology, and culture. Based in New York City, the magazine has expanded its presence globally with international editions. Esquire has become known for its in-depth profiles, investigative journalism, and cultural commentary, appealing to a broad audience interested in current affairs and lifestyle trends. One interesting fact: Esquire has a unique history of publishing fiction, having featured works by renowned authors such as Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Stephen King. In fact, it was the first to publish Norman Mailer's essay "The White Negro" in 1957, which became a significant piece of New Journalism.
