In March, Time Out, the global media and leisure brand that helps people explore and experience the best of the city, announced that it would temporarily change its logo to Time In. Such a decision was in support of responsible health policy and in solidarity with the many people across the world in lockdown. Time Out content was adapted for a ‘stay at home’ audience, bringing the city and its culture to the millions of people self isolating and practicing social distancing. Now, as certain countries begin to ease restrictions, local businesses are starting to plan their reopenings in line with new local government health and safety regulations. A brand known for championing city businesses and culture, Time Out this week launched a global Love Local campaign in an effort to help support local restaurants, bars, galleries, live music venues, theatres and clubs that make each city unique. The mission of the Love Local campaign is to partner with small and independent businesses by lending Time Out’s voice to a range of crucial causes that are fighting to support local food, drink, culture and entertainment businesses in key cities including London, LA, NYC, Chicago, Miami, Montreal, Barcelona, Madrid and Paris as well as Singapore and Hong Kong. A taste of some of the great initiatives being supported include London’s National Time In, Barcelona’s Raise Your Fork, LA’s Arts COVID-19 Relief Fund, Sydney’s Keep Our Venues Alive, and many more, which all aim to keep local food, d

Last week, Time Out changed its iconic logo to Time In, in support of responsible health policy and in solidarity with the many people across the world who can’t go out right now. That’s why Time Out now brings the best of the city to your home, as Time In. With many city-dwellers currently working from home and fewer commuters in the city, Time Out magazine will temporarily have a Time In too - like so many people - and go digital-only for now. Once the city bounces back, the magazine will return. Time Out content, including its digital magazine, will continue to be available across the brand’s websites. In addition, Time Out social media channels and email newsletters will offer timely news, inspiration and support. The Company’s temporary pivot to Time In has been incredibly well received - and most importantly, its loyal audience has fully embraced the focus on city content around supporting local businesses, providing inspiration, and reporting news and initiatives emerging in the city. New content strands have been created dedicated to serving the city, and bringing the city and its culture to the millions of people working from home - these include: “Time In Daily”, “The best of the city - straight to your sofa”, “Community inspiration - how city dwellers are helping each other”, and “Time In Festival”, showcasing live venues and artists who are streaming their gigs, shows, exhibitions and cultural resources for free right now. As many independent venues are facing a t

Since 1968, Time Out has curated the best of the city and has been part of urban cultural life around the world, through good times and more challenging ones. As COVID-19 continues to affect lives across the globe, we’re dedicated to supporting our cities and everyone in them. If you can’t go out right now, we’re still here for you as Time In. We’ll carry on helping you enjoy the best of the city wherever you are. To acknowledge this moment, we have changed our iconic Time Out logo to Time In all over the world this week.   Our team has been working on other stuff too:  Many independent venues are facing a tough time right now. So we are launching a Love Local campaign to show empathy and support for local venues, whether or not people are able to go out to them. We’ll step that up when our cities bounce back and our beloved local favourites are thriving again. As it is our responsibility to do our part to protect everybody, we have decided to temporarily close Time Out Market in Lisbon (as of 14 March 2020), and in Miami, New York, Boston and Chicago (as of Monday morning, 16 March 2020) for as long as required to fully support the local and global efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19. After closely monitoring the latest developments, this very difficult decision was taken following updates from both health authorities and local government. More importantly, the decision was taken in the best interests of public health and in order to prioritise the wellbeing and safet
