Liberty: A Weekly for Everybody was founded in 1924 by Robert McCormick, publisher of the Chicago Tribune, which he called WGN, the world's greatest newspaper, and his cousin Joseph Patterson, with whom he established the New York Daily News. McCormick and Patterson set out to make the magazine more topical, daring, and exciting than any competitors.
