Closer ups of the week's trends generally referred to as Closer-Up but also Closer-up and Closer-ups was a weekly newsletter published and written by Upton Close and edited by Don Bell. George Deatherage assisted with the newsletter's publication. The publication appeared from July 23, 1945 to Aug. 16, 1974. The heading claimed "Dedicated to the Christian national point of view".

Senator Joseph McCarthy at times would submit articles from Closer-Up into the Congressional Record.[1]

Closer-Up was first issued out of Hollywood, California, later relocating to Palm Beach, Florida. It consisted mostly of transcripts of Upton Close’s weekly radio programs. Eventually the publication became affiliated with Don Bell Reports, with both newsletters being mailed to their subscribers using the same envelope.
