Locus is a professional magazine for SFF news that started as a fanzine in 1968, posteriorly won the Hugo Award for Best Fanzine and then Bext Semiprozine many times, until the semiprozine category was redefined to exclude Locus in 2012.

Charles N. Brown, Ed Meskys, and Dave Vanderwerf originally founded it to promote Boston's bid to host the 1971 Worldcon, but ended up continuing it as a general SFF newszine.
