Friday was a short-lived weekly magazine published by Friday, Inc. — D. S. (Dan) Gillmor (president), Allan Chase (managing editor) and Levertt S. Gleason (business manager). Friday, Inc., was located at 113 East 32nd Street, New York, New York.

The feature titled "Orson Delivers" appears on pages 24–27. In his book Citizen Welles, Frank Brady relates the story:

A new and subsequently short-lived publication, Friday, which deemed itself "The Magazine That Dares to Tell the Truth," published a two-page [sic] pictorial feature article on the film, claiming that it had had a "sneak preview" of Citizen Kane. Actually, no one from Friday had seen the film; [publicist Herbert] Drake had sent the magazine—as he had to a number of other publications—a series of still photographs of scenes from Citizen Kane and a basic press release. with pertinent details of the plot of the film and information about its stars. Friday's editor, Dan Gillmor, concocted a story, much of it purple, taking each still photo and writing a caption for it that proved to his own satisfaction that the film was about William Randolph Hearst. … When Welles received an advance copy of the article, he exploded.

Friday, January 17, 1941, Volume 2, Number 3. Copyright notice appears on page 2: "Printed in the United States of America, copyright 1940 by FRIDAY, INC."
