In our present era of smartphone addiction, social media trolls, sextortion rackets and other horrors of the online world, consider this startling fact: The Wagner Journal has been available for sale for longer than the iPhone. The Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, unveiled his ‘revolutionary and magical product’ in January 2007, but the first integrated smartphone did not go on sale in the USA until June 2007. Meanwhile, Barry Millington and Stewart Spencer published the first issue of The Wagner Journal in March 2007, thus launching a product as ground-breaking and magical in its own way – an independent, scholarly journal aimed at a readership of professional and lay Wagner enthusiasts alike.
