News World Communications
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For the now-defunct U.S. television production company and station owner, see New World Communications.
News World Communications, Inc. is a media corporation owned by the Unification Church, which is run by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon. News World owns The Washington Times, a newspaper Moon began publishing in 1982. Reportedly the paper has lost $1 billion, though it is widely believed that Moon has funded it at a loss to provide a political voice for the conservative right and the Church. Moon declared: "The Washington Times will become the instrument in spreading the truth about God to the world." [1].
News World also owns Insight Magazine, The World and I magazine, Middle East Times, Tiempos del Mundo, Segye Ilbo, Sekai Nippo, Zambezi Times, and United Press International.
