[1][2][3] Science Fiction Chronicle was founded, and initially owned and published, by Andrew I. Porter.
Science Fiction Chronicle began as a section of Porter's older magazine (fanzine), Algol, appearing there first in 1978.
[8] Its contributors included Vincent Di Fate, Jo Fletcher, Harris Lentz III [Wikidata], Frederik Pohl, Jeff Rovin and Robert Silverberg.
[17] Peter Nicholls and David Langford also remarked that its "coverage was not as broad" as that of Locus; although it also covered some other topics.
They noted that it was "something of an East Coast institution" and that it "offered an alternative voice for the sf community".
