History

Rhyme was established in 1923 by Hugo Cariñoso, a visionary Iverican journalist who aimed to bring quality journalism to a glubal readership. The first issue was published on 28 October 1923, featuring an exclusive interview with one of the foremost political figures of the time, Hermenegildo Vasqquenio. This groundbreaking debut was a critical and commercial success, establishing the magazine as a noteworthy international publication.

In 1931, Rhyme published an exposé on the Enthorn Oil Scandal, a pivotal moment in the magazine's history as it established Rhyme's reputation for investigative journalism. The scandal led to the incarceration of top officials at Enthorn Corporation, a significant petroleum company.

Rhyme was the first news publication to publish this now famous photographs of a crashed Helleno-Russian SRBM during the First Argic War.

During the tumultuous period of the First Argic War, Rhyme chronicled key events, including the role of Iverica in the conflict. Their detailed and insightful coverage contributed significantly to the glubal understanding of the war.

The magazine underwent a significant transformation in the 1960s under the leadership of Danilo Pantalóne, Cariñoso's successor. Brooke modernised Rhyme, introducing vibrant graphics, photography, and adopting a more contemporary journalistic style. He also introduced special editions, such as the Person of the Year and 30 Under 30.

Rhyme celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2023 with a special edition that included interviews with influential figures and retrospectives of its most impactful articles.

Circulation

Rhyme's initial print run in 1923 was a modest 20,000 copies, but it quickly gained popularity. By 1935, circulation had increased tenfold to 200,000 copies per month, marking its rise as a glubally-read magazine.

The advent of digital media in the late 20th century had a significant impact on Rhyme. The magazine established an online presence in 1995, offering digital subscriptions in addition to its print circulation. By 2005, Rhyme boasted a print circulation of over a million and a burgeoning digital readership.

Rhyme saw a surge in digital subscriptions during the 2010s, with digital subscriptions surpassing print for the first time in 2015. As of 2023, Rhyme has a monthly digital readership of over 10 million and continues to maintain a significant print circulation.

Throughout its history, Rhyme has distributed its content glubally, with large readerships in Iverica, Argis, Alharu, and elsewhere. Its engaging journalism, investigative reporting, and diverse content have ensured its place as a widely-read and respected international news magazine.

Special editions

Person of the Year

While Rhyme typically publishes once a month, it also includes a number of special editions, the most notable of which is the annual "person of the year" issue. Covered personalities are of varied backgrounds and professions, but the periodical most popularly covers political figures, entertainment figures, artists, prominent scientists and businesspersons. Person of the Year is one of the most awaited and most popular issues of the year, benchmarking sales figures during its January release, after a lengthy decision-making process.

One notable example was the 2017 title, held by Iverica's Primo, Franso E. Deitorr. The 50-year-old First Citizen of the Republic of Iverica made waves across headlines for his bold “Realpolitik” approach to domestic policy, and his long strides in rebuilding international ties. Deitorr has been described as a patient and measured diplomat in foreign dealings, while contrarily being brusque, and sharp in domestic affairs. In any case, Iverica under Deitorr has certainly risen from its long-time obscurity, in no small measure due to the Primo's aggressive pursuit of his main campaign promise: Iverica In Altum.
