[Development of various magazines]
The success of magazines that could be called multinational and were translated into many languages ​​was an epoch in the world of 20th century publishing. DeWitt Wallace's Reader's Digest (1922), a pocket-sized version of the Reader's Digest, was first welcomed in cities in the eastern United States. After fending off competition from many similar magazines, the collection of "optimistic and sustained reading material that caters to the interests of the average reader" was sent to England in 1939 and to Spanish-speaking countries in 1940. It has remained at the top of the multi-national magazine market, adding its own unique content to each publication. Henry Luce, who pioneered the modern situation with his weekly information magazine and photojournalism, was also an entrepreneur who successfully responded to the information needs of modern Americans.
