During the heyday of the picture press, PM New York Daily was unlike any other newspaper. The tabloid was published between 1940 through 1948, and instead of an upbeat consumerist message, the editors championed economic and racial equality to a progressive, labor-identified readership. Since there were no advertisements, more space was allotted to great photographs than any other newspaper.
