Which popular magazine was published first, Inside Sports or Men's Fitness?
Inside Sports Inside Sports magazine was a major general interest sports magazine in the United States. Launched in 1979 by Newsweek, it was designed as an edgier, monthly alternative to the longer-running "Sports Illustrated" and "SPORT Magazine" brands. In addition to 12 issues a year, it featured a "Swimsuit Spectacular" ("IS"' answer to the famous Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue).
Athletic News Cricket Annual The Athletic News Cricket Annual was one of several sporting annuals published initially by the "Athletic News", a Manchester-based newspaper devoted almost entirely to reporting sports events. It was first issued in 1888 and it had reached its 48th edition by 1939 (after omitting the First World War years). By that time it was generally including over 200 pages together with a small number of photographs. As well as containing test match and county championship records, this particular cricket annual differed from a number of similar publications by the depth of its coverage of certain minor leagues — especially those in the north of England (close to its home base) and also in Scotland.
