Hugo Gernsback's Radio News was arguably the most succesful  radio and technology magazine in broadcastings first decades.
The first issue of Radio News was published in 1919, as Radio Amateur News; in mid 1920 it dropped the word "Amateur" from the title. In 1948 the title changed again, to Radio and Television News, and from April 1959 to December 1971 it was published as Eleectronics World. Radio News was aimed at the enthusiastic amateur, but includes a wealth of material that documents the evolution of electronic media in the United States.
