World (Magazine)

WORLD Magazine is the weekly news magazine with the fourth largest circulation in the United States, behind TIME, Newsweek, and U.S. News and World Report. Unlike these newsweeklies, which generally attempt to report the news in an unbiased manner, WORLD describes the news according to a biblical and politically conservative worldview. The magazine's mission statement is "to report and analyze the news on a weekly schedule in an interesting, accurate, and arresting fashion, and to combine reporting with practical commentary on current events and issues from a perspective committed to the Bible as the inerrant Word of God."

Launched by Joel Belz in 1986, the magazine started small, even requesting donations in every issue to stay financially afloat. It has grown steadily ever since, and its publishers express hope of someday reaching the circulation level of its three top competitors. Currently, Marvin Olasky is the magazine's editor-in-chief, and in the past, Cal Thomas was a frequent contributor.

Each issue features both national and international news, cultural analysis, editorials and commentary, as well as book, music and movie reviews.
