Richard Stolley
Richard Brockway Stolley (born October 3, 1928) is an American journalist and magazine editor. He's most well known for his work at Life magazine, which he joined in 1953. He subsequently held a number of roles at the magazine including reporter, bureau chief, senior editor, and assistant Managing Editor. In addition, he served as the founding Managing Editor of People magazine and Editorial Director across all Time Inc. magazines.[1]
Stolley was an editor at Life magazine when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, and met with Abraham Zapruder to buy the rights for the Zapruder film, which showed the details of the shooting in Dealey Plaza. Stolley has said the Zapruder film is the single most fascinating thing he has seen in his career as a journalist.
In 1996, Stolley joined the American Society of Magazine Editors Hall of Fame.[1]
