WORLD Magazine is a biweekly1 Christian news magazine, published in the United States of America, and based in Asheville, North Carolina.2
WORLD differs from most other news magazines in that its declared perspective is one of conservative evangelical Protestantism.3 Its mission statement is "To report, interpret, and illustrate the news in a timely, accurate, enjoyable, and arresting fashion from a perspective committed to the Bible as the inerrant Word of God."
Each issue features both US and international news, cultural analysis, editorials and commentary, as well as book, music and movie reviews. In addition to this, WORLD also publishes an end of the year issue that covers the top stories from the previous year, obituaries, and statistics.4
Launched by Joel Belz in 1986, the magazine started small, initially requesting donations in every issue to stay afloat. It has grown ever since, and its publishers express hope of reaching the circulation level of the nation's top secular newsweeklies.5 As of April 2008, it had reached a circulation of about 123,000.
Currently, Nickolas S. Eicher is the magazine's publisher and Marvin Olasky is its editor in chief, with Mindy Belz as editor, Timothy Lamer as managing editor, Lynn Vincent as features editor, and Janie B. Cheaney, Susan Olasky, John Piper, Edward E. Plowman, Andrée Seu, Cal Thomas, and Gene Edward Veith as senior writers. Other contributors include Megan Basham, Mark Bergin, Anthony Bradley, Jamie Dean, Alisa Harris, Vern S. Poythress and Tony Woodlief. The magazine's art director is David K. Freeland, with Robert L. Patete serving as associate art director.
