Explanation:

India’s magazine industry has witnessed significant transformations over the decades. Several publications emerged, each catering to different readerships and offering unique editorial perspectives. Understanding their chronological sequence provides insights into the evolution of Indian journalism.

First, India Today debuted in 1975, marking a turning point in investigative and analytical journalism. Its in-depth coverage of politics, business, and current affairs set a new benchmark for magazine reporting in India. Because of its credibility and sharp editorial stance, it quickly gained popularity.

Following this, The Week entered the scene in 1982. Published by the Malayala Manorama Group, it aimed to provide balanced and engaging news content. Unlike its predecessor, The Week focused on making news accessible to a broader audience. Moreover, it maintained a distinct identity by emphasizing human-interest stories.

Subsequently, Frontline was launched in 1984 as a biweekly magazine under The Hindu Group. Unlike commercial magazines, Frontline concentrated on in-depth analysis, investigative journalism, and socio-political issues. Its reputation grew because of its well-researched articles and fact-based reporting.

Finally, Outlook made its entry in 1995. It introduced a refreshing and bold approach to news reporting. With its critical viewpoints and compelling narratives, Outlook quickly became a strong competitor in the magazine market. Additionally, it appealed to readers looking for a contemporary take on politics and culture.

In conclusion, the sequential launch of these magazines reflects the changing landscape of Indian journalism. Each played a crucial role in shaping public discourse and journalistic standards.
