American Weekly
''The American Weekly'' was a Sunday newspaper supplement published by the Hearst Corporation from November 1, 1896, until 1966. History During the 1890s, publications were inserted into Joseph Pulitzer's ''New York World'' and William Randolph Hearst's ''New York Journal''. Hearst had the eight-page ''Women's Home Journal'' and the 16-page ''Sunday American Magazine'', which later became ''The American Weekly''. In November 1896, Morrill Goddard, editor of the ''New York Journal'' from 1896 to 1937, launched Hearst's Sunday magazine, later commenting, "Nothing is so stale as yesterday's newspaper, but ''The American Weekly'' may be around the house for days or weeks and lose none of its interest."
