U.S. News & World Report

(Redirected from U.S. News and World Report)

U.S. News & World Report is a weekly newsmagazine. It was founded in 1933 as United States News, which in 1948 merged with World Report. The magazine's founder, David Lawrence (1888-1973), sold it to his employees, who owned it until 1984, when it was purchased by Mortimer Zuckerman, who is also the co-publisher of the New York Daily News.

Its two primary competitors—both of which have greater circulation—are Time and Newsweek. It is generally considered to have a more right-wing editorial point of view than the two others.

Since 1983, the magazine has published a well-known and controversial annual list of college and university rankings. The magazine also publishes similar rankings for hospitals.
