Screen's 50th Anniversary

Screen is approaching 50!


Screen Education, the journal that was to become Screen, was launched in October 1959. Between that date and October 1968, forty-six issues of Screen Education appeared. The journal’s first issue under its new title appeared in January 1969 as volume 10, number 1.

Beginning in Autumn 2008, Screen will host a year of special events and celebrations to mark the journal’s fiftieth birthday.
