In this weeks episode, we look at the role of the magazines. Magazines helped to bond the electronic community, by providing resources for people interested in learning electronics, uniting the industry leaders and provided a vehicle for those wishing to advertise products and services. Historically, magazines were critically important to those practicing the art of electronics and introduced technologies, construction methods and ideas to many. In Australia, the industry revolved around the magazines. There were many magazines including "Wireless Weekly", "Radio & Hobbies", "Radio, Hobbies and Television", "Electronics Australia", "Electronics Today International (ETI), "Talking Electronics", "Electronics Today" and quite a few amateur radio and international magazines.
Today there is just one magazine produced in Australia - Silicon Chip Magazine. In part 2, we look at the effects of the internet and the future of magazines.
