Magazines


Magazines

According to several sources, Erbauliche Monaths-Unterredungen is  the world's first magazine (published in Germany). It was started in 1663 by Johann Rist, a  poet of Hamburg. The Gentleman's Magazine, first published in 1731 in England, is considered to have been the first modern magazine. Later in 1741, Benjamin Franklin hoped to publish America's first magazine called General Magazine, but was beaten to the finish line when American Magazine came out three days earlier. 

The magazines today are so much different from back then. They have bigger texts the covers look very interesting that is why there are so many people who read magazines. also the reason why people read magazines today because they are short, they are something people what to hear or learn about.
