  The First Edition of The Business Of Film, October 1982, was an especially commissioned illustration that depicts the magazine to be the Eyes, Nose and Mouth of events in the international independent community. An innovation of The Business Of Film was the establishment of its logo sideways top to bottom.  This, in later years, was adopted by other magazines worldwide.
    
 In February 1985, the magazine  looked  at censorship worldwide, and how Censorship rating stood in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, England & Wales, France, Federal Republic of Germany, India, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, & the USA. It also lists the 22 countries who adopted systems to govern the labeling of home videos in 1985.   
    
In February 1988, we are proud to have published the industries first and only in-depth look at Violence And The Media, covering a UCLA student forum in which students condemned violence. Interviews with Jan Armstrong of the Southern California Coalition for Battered Women, research at UCSD which indicated a correlation between violence on the screen and violence on the street. Norwegian censor and psychologist Georg Mathiessen commented “Brutality in films can be exceedingly harmful to certain people.” Renowned professor of psychology at UCLA Seymour Feshbeck spoke to The Business on the fact that it is not just the intelligence of the audience and their ability of the audience to discern between fact and fantasy that should be taken into account in studying the impact on a film scene. The context of the action also plays a crucial role
