PM
PM, New York City tabloid newspaper (1940–48), was published daily except on Saturday and Sunday, but a digest, PM's Weekly, was issued on Saturday. The newspaper, stapled together and bearing a cover consisting of a large picture and a headline, was suggestive of a magazine. The news was departmentalized, somewhat in the fashion of a news magazine, and there was a liberal use of photographs and specially drawn illustrations that occupied about a third of the paper. No advertising was accepted, although there was a digest of advertisements selected from the other major papers of the city; other unconventional features included a listing of “good buys” in food and suggested menus employing these products. The paper was noted for its very liberal pro‐labor policies. The editor, Ralph Ingersoll, was formerly the publisher of Time. It was owned(1945–48) by Marshall Field. Contributors in‐cluded Ben Hecht, Louis Kronenberger, Margaret Bourke‐White, J.T. Winterich, Leane Zug‐smith.
