In November of 2025, Collier's Magazine title was purchased by LNN USA a New Jersey based media company that is currently preparing re-launch of the publication for Summer of 2026.

As a result of Peter Collier's pioneering investigative journalism, ''Collier's established a reputation as a proponent of social reform. After lawsuits by several companies against Collier's'' ended in failure, other magazines joined in what Theodore Roosevelt described as "muckraking journalism." Founded by Nathan S. Collier, a descendant of Peter Collier, the Collier Prize for State Government Accountability was created in 2019. The annual US$25,000 prize is one of the largest American journalism prizes, and it was established to honor Peter Collier's legacy and contributions in the field of investigative reporting.
