Jim Kelly Leaving Time Inc.

After 28 years at Time Inc., Jim Kelly has decided to leave the company. He began his career with the magazine as a writer for the Nation section. During the first Gulf War he served as foreign editor and then was promoted to managing editor, a role he held for six years. Two year’s ago he moved up to managing editor for the magazine groups, a role that was specifically created for him. Reporting directly to Editor-in-Chief John Huey, Kelly oversaw standards, practices and ethics, while also working with Huey on proactive policy making, pre-publication vetting of controversial stories and recruitment of outside editorial talent.
