    Collier's
    Collier's
    was an American
    magazine
    , founded in 1888 by
    Peter Fenelon Collier
    . It was initially launched as
    Collier's Once a Week
    , then changed in 1895 to
    Collier's Weekly: An Illustrated Journal
    ,
    [1]
    and finally shortened in 1905 to simply
    Collier's
    .
    [2]
    The magazine ceased publication with the issue dated for the week ending January 4, 1957, though a brief, failed attempt was made to revive the Collier's name with a new magazine in 2012.
    [3]
    As a result of Peter Collier's pioneering
    investigative journalism
    ,
    Collier's
    established a reputation as a proponent of social reform. When attempts by various companies to sue Collier ended in failure, other magazines became involved in what
    Theodore Roosevelt
    described as "
    muckraking
    journalism."
