The Saturday Evening Post
''The Saturday Evening Post'' is a bimonthly American magazine. It was published weekly under this title from 1897 until 1963, then biweekly until 1969, and quarterly and then bimonthly from 1971. In the 1920s–1960s it was one of the most widely circulated and influential magazines for the American middle class, with fiction, non-fiction, cartoons and features that reached millions of homes every week.
==History==
''The Saturday Evening Post'' was founded in 1821〔 and grew to become the most widely circulated weekly magazine in America. The magazine gained prominent status under the leadership of its longtime editor George Horace Lorimer (1899–1937).〔Tebbel, John. ''George Horace Lorimer and the Saturday Evening Post''. Doubleday & Co., 1948.〕 The editors claimed it had historical roots in Benjamin Franklin, ''The Pennsylvania Gazette'' which was first published in 1728 by Samuel Keimer and sold to Fanklin in 1729. It discontinued publication in 1800.
''The Saturday Evening Post'' published current event articles, editorials, human interest pieces, humor, illustrations, a letter column, poetry (with contributions submitted by readers), single-panel gag cartoons (including ''Hazel'' by Ted Key) and stories by the leading writers of the time. It was known for commissioning lavish illustrations and original works of fiction. Illustrations were featured on the cover and embedded in stories and advertising. Some ''Post'' illustrations became popular and continue to be reproduced as posters or prints, especially those by Norman Rockwell.
Curtis Publishing Co. stopped publishing the ''Post'' in 1969 after the company lost a landmark defamation suit and was ordered to pay over $3 million in damages. The ''Post'' was revived in 1971 as a limited circulation quarterly publication. As of the late 2000s, ''The Saturday Evening Post'' is published six times a year by the Saturday Evening Post Society, which purchased the magazine in 1982.
