A quick history of the rise of two magazines

The history of journalism and publishing is characterised by a close interplay of technical innovation and social change, each promoting the other. Journalism and publishing, as known today, depend on a series of several major inventions – writing, paper, printing and investigative writing and well-researched writings, besides one crucial social development — the spread of literacy in urban as well as rural areas of our country. Basically, the magazine is a by-product of the newspaper. It is a compilation of various items written by different authors on the subjects like politics, social, sports, entertainment, comments on current affairs, book reviews, etc.
