 Excellent, but "real" news? February 15, 2006

3 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have enjoyed receiving World magazine the past few years. It has interesting stories and excellent editorials. However, I have stopped reading as of late, since I get much better news coverage from my daily newspapers. World magazine is not so much a weekly news publication as it is a "cultural news" publication, such as a recent cover story on Pat Robertson, movie, book, and music reviews, usually a story about some person or group that is doing good things, and some small snippets of news. While I wouldn't subscribe to US News and World Report, Newsweek, or Time, I also wouldn't put this magazine in the same category. It is world happenings and culture stuff from a Christian worldview, but don't expect to be updated each week on the latest and greatest news by something other than a small paragraph. Otherwise, it makes for nice bedtime reading.

I have gotten World for two years and it is an excellent news magazine, I get it a little bit late but that is the USPS' fault.
 Totally Republican, Somewhat Christian, Not Too Biblical July 19, 2008

World Magazine is a sincere attempt to provide an evangelical Christian perspective on the major issues of the day. While I applaud those who conceived it, it is singularly lacking in its execution.
Unfortunately, its publisher and editors seem to equate the latest talking points issued by the Republican Party as equivalent to the explicit teaching of Holy Writ. They apparently fail to recognize the many ways in which both the administration of George W. Bush and the Republican Party leadership have fallen far short of Biblical standards in both personal morality and policy proposals.
They have cast their lot with the GOP, despite the fact that Republicans have failed time and time again to deliver on issues of concern to conservative, evangelical Christians. In doing so, they have insured that the Babylonian captivity of the Church of Jesus Christ to the GOP will continue, regardless of how Republican leaders live their personal lives, or the policies that they attempt to advance on the federal level.
World Magazine is better than Newsweek, Time, or U.S. News and World Report...But that is faint praise indeed.
World vs. Newsweek July 25, 2008
David Margulis (New Jersey, USA)
Having been a regular to subscriber to "Newsweek" my sister bought me a subsription of "World Magazine". Needless to say I no longer order Newsweek anymore. Being a moderate conservative (was planning on voting for Stpehen Colbert-Democrat, for president), I was very pleased with the clean, un-slanted, un-biased writings of World Magazine. Anytime I see Newsweek at a Doctor's office or anywhere else; I don't even consider picking it up becasue I know it is garbage that could be better used elsewhere. If you are tired of reading liberal-closed-minded articles (Newsweek only has 2 conservative writers and 21 liberal!) then World Magazine is definitly for you!
All the Difference in the World September 23, 2008
T Rice (Sunnyside, WA United States)
World Magazine started as a pretty flimsy weekly reader sort of magazine and has grown and improved to be in line with Time magazine, very professionally done. The difference is that World is from a Christian perspective- and that makes all the difference. Same things happening in the world but you get a much more hopeful and, I believe, honest account of the news.
My only complaint is that, due to postage prices, World had to go to a bi-weekly magazine making some of the news outdated by the time the magazine arrives.
