During the 1890s, publications were inserted into Joseph

Hearst had the eight-page Women’s Home Journal and the
16-page Sunday American Magazine, which later became
The American Weekly.

In November 1896, Morrill Goddard, editor of the New
York Journal from 1896 to 1937, launched Hearst’s
Sunday magazine, later commenting, "Nothing is so
stale as yesterday’s newspaper, but
The American

and lose none of its interest."

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana.

Jackson began performing with his four brothers in the pop
group the Jackson 5 when he was a child. The group scored
its first No. 1 single in 1969, with “I Want You Back.” By age
11, Jackson was appearing on TV, and by age 14 he had
released his first solo album.

A Jackson 5 TV cartoon series appeared in the early ’70s, and
in 1976 the Jackson family, including sister Janet Jackson,
launched a TV variety show called The Jacksons that ran for
one season. Throughout the 70s, media attention focused on
Michael, who piped vocals in his high voice for “ABC,” “I’ll Be
There,” and many other Top 20 hits.
