About WORLD News Group

“WORLD gives me the news and helps me to engage with culture in such a way that compels me to pray instead of despair.” —WORLD Reader
WORLD produces sound journalism, grounded in facts and Biblical truth. Through print magazines, online articles, and podcast programs, our trained journalists report on current events both global and national so that readers and listeners can see how God is at work in the world, no matter the headlines.
WORLD readers and listeners are made up of thoughtful believers who aim to competently talk about and pray about the news. They can think for themselves and prefer to draw their own conclusions. They want the truth, and they understand that the truth demands a Biblical context, or it’s not the whole truth. News delivered this way compels them to act. Led by the Spirit, they are often emboldened to pray, love, and serve others in light of what they learn.
Easily access all of WORLD's magazine, digital, and podcast content in one place with this updated version of the app.
