History
Chief Magazine was founded by A.P. Smith on September 11, 2006. For the second issue, Smith partnered with Ed Zipco to run the project. Zipco and Smith originally became friends while attending the Pratt Institute of Art and Design. Smith went on to work for COLORS Magazine while Zipco went to work for Vice, until the two decided to launch their own independent magazine in 2006. Nick Chatfield-Taylor, whose former projects include the film B.I.K.E. and directing Matt & Kim's 'Yea Yea' music video, joined on as Photo Editor in mid-2007 and was promoted to Junior Editor in early 2008. Jacqueline Lewis, former writer of Gawker's now defunct "Bloghorrea NYC" column, became Managing Editor of Chief in 2007.
In 2009, Zipco, Lewis and Smith ended Chief Magazine and went on to work on other projects.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“No cause is left but the most ancient of all, the one, in fact, that from the beginning of our history has determined the very existence of politics, the cause of freedom versus tyranny.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“... the history of the race, from infancy through its stages of barbarism, heathenism, civilization, and Christianity, is a process of suffering, as the lower principles of humanity are gradually subjected to the higher.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
