National Police Gazette was an American magazine that was first published in 1845, making it one of the oldest magazines in the United States. The magazine was initially focused on crime and criminal investigations, but over time evolved to include sports, entertainment, politics, and other topics of general interest.

The National Police Gazette was known for its sensationalized reporting, exaggerated stories, and racy illustrations. The magazine featured stories on everything from notorious criminals and unsolved murders to scandals in high society and the sexual exploits of celebrities.

The magazine was also known for its sports coverage, and was one of the first publications to cover boxing in detail. It published scores, rankings, and analysis of the sport, and helped to popularize boxing in the United States.

At its peak, the National Police Gazette had a circulation of over one million, making it one of the most widely read magazines in the country. However, by the mid-20th century, the magazine faced increased competition from other publications and declining interest in its sensationalist style of journalism. It ceased publication in 1977, after over 130 years of circulation.

Despite its controversial reputation, the National Police Gazette played an important role in American journalism and popular culture. Its influence can be seen in the development of modern tabloid journalism, as well as in the enduring popularity of sports like boxing.{{Categories}}
