HISTORY
The earliest example of a magazine after the introduction of printing press in 1440 was the literary and philosophy magazine created by a german poet johan rist named “Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen”. This was launched in germany in 1663. This was widely recognised when first introduced as it grasped people,s attention.
A publication similar to today,s magazines seemed visible in the year 1672, when a french author Jean Donneau de Vize created “Le Mercure Galant”. It curbed subjects related to literature,theatre,drama and court events. This concept then gained recognition in europe and these were afterwards copied. The first women,s magazine “ladie’s mercury” was published in 1693 in london.
In “Gazette Burlesque” jean loret combined the weekly news of music, dance, arts etc from 1650 to 1665 into a magazine. In 1684, exiled frenchman pierre bayle published “Novelles de la republique des lettres” in the netherlands to escape french censorships.
Magazines flourished after napolean left in 1815. Most were based in paris and most emphasized on literature,poetry and stories.in times of political crisis they expressed and helped shape the views of their readership and thereby were major elements in changing political culture. Moreover in turkey the Moniteur ottoman was a gazette written in french and first published in 1831 on the order of mahmud the second. It was the first official gazette of the ottoman empire,edited by alexandre blacque at the expense of the sublime porte.
