The National Police Gazette

A cover from 1922

The National Police Gazette , or Police Gazette for short , was a popular American magazine founded in 1845 and discontinued in 1977 . It dealt ostensibly with criminological processes, but also covered tabloid topics such as sport and prostitution.

Journalists Enoch E. Camp and George Wilkes were the founders of the magazine. Richard Kyle Fox was the director of the Police Gazette between 1877 and 1922. The American photographer Phil Stern learned his photojournalistic craft in the mid-1930s at the New York Gazette. In the 20th century the magazine was printed on pink paper.

As early as the 18th century there was a magazine founded by Henry Fielding called the Police Gazette .
