About US
THE NEWS is a multifaceted digital media company dedicated to helping consumers, business leaders and policy officials make important decisions in their lives. We use world-class data and technology to publish independent reporting, rankings, journalism and advice that has earned the trust of our readers and users for more than 90 years.
We reach more than 40 million people monthly during moments when they are most in need of expert advice and motivated to act on that advice directly on our platforms. Our signature franchises include our “Best” series of consumer information and advice on colleges, graduate schools, hospitals, diets, cars, financial services and more. These guides provide an easy-to-digest list for consumers to better understand and compare when making their decisions. We continue to publish annual guides of the authoritative Best Colleges and Best Hospitals rankings on our website and in print. And our U.S. News Live flagship events highlight important national conversations including The State of Equity in America, The Evolution of Leadership, Healthcare of Tomorrow and Healthiest Communities.
We are proud to be one of the first legacy media brands to transform into a purely digital model nearly a dozen years ago. Our diversified business model engages consumers at every point in their decision-making journey and allows our corporate partners to use brand advertising, performance marketing, e-commerce, brand recognition and thought-leadership programs to achieve their business objectives.
