U.S. News & World Report is an American media company that publishes news,opinion,consumer advice,rankings,and analysis. Founded as a newsweekly magazine in 1933,U.S. News transitioned to primarily web-based publishing in 2010. U.S. News is best known today for its influential Best Colleges and Best Hospitals rankings,but it has expanded its content and product offerings in education,health,money,careers,travel,and cars. The rankings are popular in North America but have drawn widespread criticism from colleges,administrations,and students for their dubious,disparate,and arbitrary nature. The ranking system by U.S. News is usually contrasted with the Washington Monthly and Forbes rankings.
