U.S. News

U.S. News is an American media company that publishes news, opinion and consumer advice related to national affairs, politics, education and health care in the United States of America. It was founded by David Lawrence Jr., who served as its first editor-in-chief from 1933 until his death in 1973. The publication is best known for publishing rankings of colleges and universities throughout the country on a yearly basis since 1983; however it also covers many other topics such as healthcare reform, local government initiatives, international relations issues and breaking news stories impacting the U.S..

U.S. News began life in 1933 when founder David Lawrence Jr., merged two magazines he owned: World Report (a weekly magazine) and National Review (which focused on foreign policy). He wanted to create “an authoritative source devoted exclusively to general information”. In 1945 U.S News & World Report absorbed Popular Science Magazine which gave them access to their large audience base already established through advertising partnerships with major companies like General Motors Corporation or Ford Motor Company .

The publication’s college ranking system has been controversial since its inception due mainly to accusations that certain schools have manipulated their data so they can climb up the list each year; this prompted some higher educational institutions such as Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management or Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Sloan School Of Businesses ,to opt out from being ranked altogether . Despite these criticisms though ,the annual report still serves millions across America every year providing valuable insights into various fields within academia making it one of most respected sources for unbiased news coverage nationwide .
