Yes.
The first issue of the magazine was published as Astounding Stories of Super Science in January 1930. The Magazine has variously been called Astounding Stories of Super Science, Astounding Stories, Astounding Science Fiction, Astounding Science Fiction and Fact. In 1960 it changed its name to Analog Science Fiction and Fact. As of 2009 it was still in print under that name.
Hugo Gernsback is called the father of science fiction because he founded the first science fiction magazine, Amazing Stories, in 1926.
Audiences who are not interested in the Science Fiction genre or those who prefer real-world, non-fiction content would likely be uninterested in a magazine featuring Science Fiction stories and book reviews. Additionally, readers who prefer other genres or topics such as history, fashion, or lifestyle may also not find the content appealing.

Yes, short stories can absolutely be science fiction. Science fiction is a genre that explores speculative scenarios based on scientific and technological developments, and short stories are a common format for exploring these ideas in a compact and focused way. Many famous science fiction works have been short stories.
Science fiction is very different than folk tale stories. Science fiction is a a made up story that has to do with science (sci-fi) Folktales are stories that were told to explain something in the world like why the coyote howls at the moon that were told before science could prove the truth. I hope that was helpful. :)

I am not aware that Hugo Gernsback invented anything. He was a writer and editor of magazines and books in the 1940's and 50's. He edited mostly science fiction and is credited as being a great influence of Ray Bradbury, Robert Silverberg and other writers of science fiction.
