History of Wireless World

The Marconi Company published the first
issue of the journal "The Marconigraph"
in April 1911. This monthly magazine was the
first significant journal dedicated to
wireless communication, and it circulated
largely among Marconi engineers and
operators.
In April 1913, after two years and 24
issues, The Marconigraph was
superseded by "The Wireless World". An
Illustrated Monthly Magazine for all
interested in Wireless Telegraphy and
Telephony and the first issue was sold
on news-stands.
Publication of Wireless World
continued uninterrupted throughout World War
I, and from 4 April 1920 (vol. 8 no. 1)
publication frequency was increased to
fortnightly
From 1 April 1922 it became known as
The Wireless World and Radio Review
following a merger with The Radio Review,
a monthly journal that had first been
published in London in October 1919. (All
issues of Radio
Review are listed and readable below) With
the same issue, publication frequency of
Wireless World became weekly.
With the outbreak of World War II and the
expected shortages of paper and other
resources, the publication reverted to being
monthly, a frequency that it retained until
its end.
The title was changed in September 1986
to Electronics and Wireless World, and from
January 1996 (Vol 102, No.1718), to
Electronics World.
