(1970– ; weekly [except June-August 1974, 1975]; RH , 1994 circulation, 20,000; file in RH ). A 16-page paper for readers ages 14 through 19.
Publication of The Youth’s Instructor ceased in April 1970 under Editor Walter T. Crandall. A new youth magazine, Insight, began publication in May 1970. Insight developed from a special committee set up by the General Conference when it became apparent that the church needed to update its senior youth magazine.
The emphasis of Insight is the mission of Jesus Christ and its implications for young Christians. It offers practical ways of understanding Scripture and living the Christlike life. Helping young people live successfully through the trials and confusion of the last days is a prime objective.
Insight encourages reader involvement and builds Christian commitment and a sense of community for Seventh-day Adventist teens through a blend of feature articles, short stories, poetry, question-and-answer columns, youth testimonials, Bible explanation, youth service reports, and how-to articles. Articles are approximately 50 percent assigned and 50 percent freelance.
