20th century One of the oldest magazines of its kind,
Philadelphia magazine was first published as a quarterly in 1908 by the Trades League of Philadelphia. S. Arthur Lipson bought the paper in 1946.
21st century The cover of its May 2007 issue, which featured a photograph of a 31-year-old woman who had undergone the removal of a cancerous growth from her buttocks, caused a minor controversy. In March 2010, the magazine launched the daily news and opinion site The Philly Post. In December 2010, it acquired the Philadelphia food blog Foobooz and, in 2012, Tim McManus's and Sheil Kapadia's Birds 24/7, a blog about the
Philadelphia Eagles. The name Philly Post was retired in a September 2013 website redesign, and the site's daily news and opinion content has been incorporated into
Philadelphia magazine. In 2025, Citizen Media Group, a newly formed nonprofit, acquired
Philadelphia magazine from
Metrocorp Publishing. ==References==
