Launched in 1922, Reader’s Digest magazine was the brainchild of American copywriter Dewitt Wallace, who decided to create a new kind of magazine after reading several during his rehabilitation after a First World War shrapnel injury. This new magazine would contain the most interesting and engaging articles across a breadth of topics, so that readers would read about the most important and interesting current affairs, news and trends in one pocket-size publication.
