'''''Collier's''''' was an American general interest [[magazine]] founded in 1888 by [[Peter F. Collier|Peter Fenelon Collier]]. It was launched as '''''Collier's Once a Week''''', then renamed in 1895 as '''''Collier's Weekly: An Illustrated Journal''''',<ref>{{cite web|url=http://spartacus-educational.com/USAcolliers.htm | title=American History,Journals,Collier's Weekly}}</ref> shortened in 1905 to '''''Collier's: The National Weekly''''' and eventually to simply '''''Collier's'''''. The magazine ceased publication with the issue dated the week ending January 4, 1957, although a brief, failed attempt was made to revive the Collier's name with a new magazine in 2012.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://colliersmagazine.com/about-us |title="About Us", ''Collier's'', February 2012 |publisher=Colliersmagazine.com |date=January 4, 1957 |access-date=February 12, 2018}}</ref>

As a result of Peter Collier's pioneering [[investigative journalism]], ''Collier's'' established a reputation as a proponent of social reform. After lawsuits by several companies against ''Collier's'' ended in failure, other magazines joined in what [[Theodore Roosevelt]] described as "[[Muckraker|muckraking]]&nbsp;journalism." Founded by Nathan S. Collier, a descendant of Peter Collier, the [[Peter Fenelon Collier#Collier Prize|Collier Prize for State Government Accountability]] was created in 2019.<ref name="zz6">{{cite AV media |people=[[Olivier Knox]] |date=April 29, 2019 |title=2019 White House Correspondents' Dinner: Collier Prize for State Government Accountability |language= en|url=https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4794657/user-clip-collier-prize-state-government-accountability |access-date=September 21, 2020 |format=video |publisher=[[C-SPAN]] }}</ref> The annual US$25,000 prize is one of the largest [[List of American journalism awards|American journalism prizes]],<ref name="zz7">{{cite web |url= https://www.jou.ufl.edu/collier-prize-for-state-government-accountability/ |title= COLLIER PRIZE FOR STATE GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=2020 |website= [[University of Florida]]|publisher= College of Journalism and Communications, University of Florida |access-date=August 31, 2020 }}</ref> and it was established to honor Peter Collier's legacy and contributions in the field of investigative reporting.<ref name="zz1">{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.-->|date=June 15, 2020 |title= $25,000 Collier Prize awarded to The Oregonian for campaign contributions investigation |url= https://www.newspapers.org/stories/collier-prize,4156530? |work=newspapers.org |access-date=September 15, 2020}}</ref><ref name="zz3">{{cite news |last= Madarang|first= Mel|date=February 18, 2020 |title=White House Correspondents' Dinner welcomes back comedic relief in 2020 |url=https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/white-house-correspondents-dinner-welcomes-back-comedic-relief/story?id=69046919 |work=ABC news |access-date=September 18, 2020}}</ref>
