Question: What was the name of the first magazine published in the U.S.?
Answer: The first American magazine, American Magazine, or Monthly View of the Political State of the British Colonies, was published by Andrew Bradford on February 13, 1741. Three days later, Benjamin Franklin released the second magazine. Both were short-lived; Bradford’s lasted three months, and Franklin’s, titled The General Magazine and Historical Chronicle for all the British Plantations in America, lasted six months.
