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:
“History has neither the venerableness of antiquity, nor the freshness of the modern. It does as if it would go to the beginning of things, which natural history might with reason assume to do; but consider the Universal History, and then tell us,—when did burdock and plantain sprout first?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Jesus Christ belonged to the true race of the prophets. He saw with an open eye the mystery of the soul. Drawn by its severe harmony, ravished with its beauty, he lived in it, and had his being there. Alone in all history he estimated the greatness of man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The principle office of history I take to be this: to prevent virtuous actions from being forgotten, and that evil words and deeds should fear an infamous reputation with posterity.”
—Tacitus (c. 55–117)
