WORLD Watch -- my REVIEW

 Disclosure: I received this complimentary product through the Homeschool Review Crew  

Where do you get your news? Do you listen to the radio or watch it on television? My family seems to get bits and pieces here and there, but this latest product is really helping us to stay current with the news. WORLD Watch is a short (around ten minutes) newscast online that we have been enjoying this past month. This is a paid subscription product, so families who wish to view their news through these videos will choose the length of time that they subscribe. 

Our family has been long-time fans of WORLD news group and we know that this company has delivered high quality Biblically sound news stories to our family through magazines for years now. It was no surprise that the news videos by them are of the same high quality, broad spectrum, and enjoyed by all.

I know that this is produced for teens or youth, but frankly, my husband is probably the largest fan of these newscasts in our family. He has not really been one to follow the news, but he has been making time (it's just ten minutes!) to watch these WORLD Watch news videos either on his lunchtime at work or else as soon as he gets home from work. He enjoys learning about what's going on in the world--and from a viewpoint that he does not have to question or beware of. 

My seventeen year old daughter and I have each been watching these newscasts as well (or sometimes just watching a news story). They are very professionally made and are engaging and interesting. The company is a Christian company and the stories are not something that you would want to cover over your child's eyes or plug their ears--they are appropriate yet share what is going on in the world. Now, just because they are Christian does not mean that this is religious news or focuses on Christianity--they just uphold standards of truth and appropriateness that may be appreciated by all.

There is a new newscast every week day and if you happen to miss one, you can go back and watch it--they do not just "disappear." There is a brief overview in the text below the video, and the stories are available even after their broadcast date. 

Most of the stories are those that dominate our society today--news of the world, news of our country, news of politics and more. There are focused stories as well to give you a taste of different parts of our world. 

If you visit their website, they currently have a deal going on where you can try this product for thirty days, which seems like a very generous thing to do--you should be able to decide if it is for you  and your family within thirty days!

So yes, we are big fans of this service. It is a paid service, so check out the costs along with checking out your free trial. Please click on the link below, as well, to read other homeschooling families' thoughts on WORLD Watch.
