50 YEARS OF THE MAGAZINE
On February 4 1962, The Sunday Times launched the first newspaper colour magazine. “My God, this is going to be a disaster,” groaned Roy Thomson, then owner of The Sunday Times
But it survived, and still thrives. The Magazine soon became an integral part of the Swinging Sixties, not just reporting and photographing the events of the time- the Vietnam war, the moon landing, seismic social change at home- but setting the agenda for the decades that followed. Here’s to the next half-century
