World and I
US magazine
World and I was a monthly magazine owned by News World Communications, an international news media corporation founded by Unification Church founder Sun Myung Moon. World and I started as a full-color glossy magazine in 1986, published by The Washington Times. Its editor was University of Chicago political scientist Morton A. Kaplan. It covered a broad range of articles by scholars and experts in the areas of politics, economics, global studies, liberal arts, fine arts, general science, and books. The print magazine ceased publication in 2004 but it continued online until 2018. A review in Canadian Social Studies in 1997 wrote that, the magazine provided "an interdisciplinary approach to a wide range of contemporary world issues", "the combination of quality prose and vivid photography makes this magazine worthy of consideration by the teacher of senior high students".
It previously contained Spanish-language pages with articles from Tiempos del Mundo, a now defunct newsweekly published in the United States and 15 countries of Latin America.
World and I has previously launched special features for K-12 schools, including subscription based core curriculum pages, weekly ESL and Spanish pages, teacher's guide lesson plans.
The content of the journal is available online through databases such as Gale OneFile and EBSCO Host.

Why this record matters
“World and I” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, World and magazine provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4295469. VIAF identifies the subject as 82150468246804171057. 3 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1986, 2004, 2018 and 1997.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
