''Billboard'' was founded in 1894 by William Donaldson and James Hennegan as a trade publication for bill posters. Donaldson later acquired Hennegan's interest in 1900 for $500. In the early years of the 20th century, it covered the entertainment industry, such as circuses, fairs, and

became commonplace. Many topics it covered were spun-off into different magazines, including ''Amusement Business'' in 1961 to cover outdoor entertainment, so that it could focus on music. After Donaldson died in 1925, ''Billboard'' was passed down to his children and Hennegan's children, until it was sold to private investors in 1985, and has since been owned by various parties.

, by William Donaldson and James Hennegan on November 1, 1894.
Initially, it covered the advertising and
bill posting industry, and was known as ''Billboard Advertising''.
At the time, billboards, posters, and paper advertisements placed in public spaces were the primary means of advertising.
Donaldson handled editorial and advertising, while Hennegan, who owned Hennegan Printing Co., managed magazine production. The first issues were just eight pages long.
The paper had columns like "The Bill Room Gossip" and "The Indefatigable and Tireless Industry of the Bill Poster".
A department for agricultural fairs was established in 1896.
The ''Billboard Advertising'' publication was renamed ''The Billboard'' in 1897.
After a brief departure over editorial differences, Donaldson purchased Hennegan's interest in the business in 1900 for $500 (equal to $ today) to save it from bankruptcy.
On May 5, Donaldson changed it from a monthly to a weekly paper with a greater emphasis on breaking news. He improved editorial quality and opened new offices in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, London, and Paris,
and also re-focused the magazine on outdoor entertainment such as fairs, carnivals, circuses,
vaudeville

, and burlesque shows.
A section devoted to circuses was introduced in 1900, followed by more prominent coverage of outdoor events in 1901.
''Billboard'' also covered topics including regulation, a lack of professionalism, economics, and new shows. It had a "stage gossip" column covering the private lives of entertainers, a "tent show" section covering traveling shows, and a sub-section called "Freaks to order".

".
As railroads became more developed, ''Billboard'' set up a mail forwarding system for traveling entertainers. The location of an entertainer was tracked in the paper's Routes Ahead column, then ''Billboard'' would receive mail on the star's behalf and publish a notice in its "Letter-Box" column that it had mail for them.
This service was first introduced in 1904, and became one of ''Billboard''s largest sources of profit
and celebrity connections.
By 1914, there were 42,000 people using the service.
It was also used as the official address of traveling entertainers for draft letters during
World War I

.
In the 1960s, when it was discontinued, ''Billboard'' was still processing 1,500 letters per week.
In 1920, Donaldson made a controversial move by hiring African-American journalist James Albert Jackson to write a weekly column devoted to African-American performers.
According to ''The Business of Culture: Strategic Perspectives on Entertainment and Media'', the column identified discrimination against black performers and helped validate their careers.
Jackson was the first black critic at a national magazine with a predominantly white audience. According to his grandson, Donaldson also established a policy against identifying performers by their race.
Donaldson died in 1925.
Focus on music
''Billboard''s editorial changed focus as technology in recording and playback developed, covering "marvels of modern technology" such as the
phonograph

It began covering coin-operated entertainment machines in 1899, and created a dedicated section for them called "Amusement Machines" in March 1932.
''Billboard'' began covering the motion picture industry in 1907,

, and was advertised heavily in ''Billboard'',
which led to even more editorial focus on music.
The proliferation of the phonograph and radio also contributed to its growing music emphasis.
''Billboard'' published the first
music hit parade on January 4, 1936, and introduced a "Record Buying Guide" in January 1939.
In 1940, it introduced "Chart Line", which tracked the best-selling records, and was followed by a chart for jukebox records in 1944 called Music Box Machine charts.
By the 1940s, ''Billboard'' was more of a music industry specialist publication.
The number of charts it published grew after

, due to a growing variety of music interests and genres. It had eight charts by 1987, covering different genres and formats,
and 28 charts by 1994.
By 1943, ''Billboard'' had about 100 employees.
The magazine's offices moved to Brighton, Ohio, in 1946, then to New York City in 1948.
A five-column tabloid format was adopted in November 1950 and coated paper was first used in ''Billboard''s print issues in January 1963, allowing for photojournalism.
Sometime prior to September 1960, the name had been changed to ''The Billboard''.
''Billboard Publications Inc.'' acquired a monthly trade magazine for candy and cigarette machine vendors called ''Vend'', and, in the 1950s, acquired an advertising trade publication called ''Tide''.
By 1969, Billboard Publications Inc. owned eleven trade and consumer publications, a publisher called

Publications, a set of self-study cassette tapes, and four television franchises. It also acquired ''Photo Weekly'' that year.
Over time, subjects that ''Billboard'' still covered outside of music were spun-off into separate publications: ''Funspot'' magazine was created in 1957 to cover amusement parks, and ''Amusement Business'' was created in 1961 to cover outdoor entertainment. In January 1961, ''Billboard'' was renamed as ''Billboard Music Week''
to emphasize its newly exclusive interest in music.
Two years later, it was renamed to just ''Billboard''.
According to ''The New Business Journalism'', by 1984, Billboard Publications was a "prosperous" conglomerate of trade magazines, and ''Billboard'' had become the "undisputed leader" in music industry news.
In the early 1990s, ''Billboard'' introduced ''Billboard Airplay Monitors'', a publication for disc jockeys and music programmers.
By the end of the 1990s, ''Billboard'' dubbed itself the "bible" of the recording industry.
Changes in ownership
''Billboard'' struggled after its founder William Donaldson died in 1925, and, within three years, was once again heading towards

Donaldson's son-in-law Roger Littleford took over in 1928 and "nursed the publication back to health".
His sons Bill and Roger became co-publishers in 1946
and inherited the publication in the late 1970s after Roger Littleford's death.
They sold it to private investors in 1985 for an estimated $40 million.
The investors cut costs and acquired a trade publication for the Broadway theatre industry called ''Backstage''.
In 1987, ''Billboard'' was sold again to Affiliated Publications for $100 million.
Billboard Publications Inc. became a subsidiary of Affiliated Publications called BPI Communications.

White also wrote in-depth profiles on musicians,
but was replaced by Keith Girard, who was subsequently fired in May 2004. He and a female employee filed a $29 million lawsuit alleging that ''Billboard'' fired them unfairly with an intent to damage their reputations.
The lawsuit claimed that they experienced sexual harassment, a hostile work environment, and a financially motivated lack of editorial integrity.
Email evidence suggested that human resources were given special instructions to watch minority employees.
The case was settled out-of-court in 2006 for a non-disclosed sum.
In the 2000s, economic decline in the music industry dramatically reduced readership and advertising from ''Billboard''s traditional audience.
Circulation declined from 40,000 in circulation in the 1990s to less than 17,000 by 2014.
The publication's staff and ownership were also undergoing frequent changes.
In 2004, Tamara Conniff became the first female and youngest-ever executive editor at ''Billboard'', and led its first major redesign since the 1960s, by Daniel Stark and Stark Design. During her tenure, ''Billboard'' newsstand sales jumped 10%, ad pages climbed 22%, and conference registrations rose 76%. In 2005, ''Billboard'' expanded its editorial outside the music industry into other areas of digital and mobile entertainment. In 2006, after leading Billboard's radio publication, former ABC News and CNN journalist, Scott McKenzie, was named editorial director across all Billboard properties. Conniff launched the Billboard Women in Music event in 2007.
