1994: ITU News is born

The historic title of “Journal” was replaced in 1994 when the publication was renamed Newsletter of the ITU, becoming ITU News in 1996. Appearing ten times per year, the Newsletter would “concentrate on ITU’s activities, on the issues at stake and on the practical results achieved.”

The next important step was taken in 1999, when, for the first time, ITU News appeared online. It was to become one of the most popular items on the ITU website.
