Screen & Radio Weekly was a nationally syndicated Sunday tabloid-newspaper-supplement published by the Detroit Free Press from 1934 to 1940 that covered film, radio, and fashion – and included a short story.
The concept for the publication has been attributed to Dougles DeVeny Martin (1885–1963), one of five 1932 Pulitzer Prize winning journalists from the Detroit Free Press, [3] who, in April 1934, proposed – to Malcolm Wallace Bingay (1884–1953), managing editor – publishing a weekly tabloid supplement in full color, 16 pages covering cinema and radio entertainment "to interest adult-minded readers, with no salacious gossip and a bare minimum of press-agent claptrap." [4] All factual material used, according to promotional material, was staff-written and each issue featured one short story. [5]
The Detroit Free Press first published S&RW April 29, 1934, with a photo of Janet Gaynor on the cover – an era marked by the Great Depression, before television. Full-scale commercial TV broadcasting did not begin in the United States until 1947. Movies and radio, in 1935, according to author Donovan A. Shilling, served as a relief for people living in an era of few jobs. [6]
On the first anniversary of the publication (in 1935), circulation was 1,700,000 – reportedly more than any two other fan magazines combined. [1] [7]
A few S&RW columnists who also wrote for the Detroit Free Press used pseudonymous bylines and were identified as Free Press journalists, sans the word "Detroit."

Big Town is a popular long-running radio drama featuring a corruption-fighting newspaper editor initially played from 1937 to 1942 by Edward G. Robinson in his first radio role, with echoes of the conscience-stricken tabloid editor he had played in the film Five Star Final. Edward Pawley played the lead role longer, 1943–52, in plots that made the editor more of a hands-on crime-fighter. During the later Pawley years, Big Town was adapted to film and television series, and a comic book published by DC Comics.
