To all the people linking to The Hill - you do know that they are owned by the moonies?

News World Communications, Inc., is an international news media corporation.[1] It was founded in New York City, in 1976, by Unification Church founder and leader, Sun Myung Moon. Its first two newspapers, The News World (later renamed the New York City Tribune) and the Spanish-language Noticias del Mundo, were published in New York from 1976 until the early 1990s. In 1982, The New York Times described News World as "the newspaper unit of the Unification Church."[2] [3]

News World Communications owns United Press International, The World and I, Tiempos del Mundo (Latin America), Segye Ilbo (South Korea), Sekai Nippo (Japan), the Zambezi Times (South Africa), Middle East Times (Egypt)[4] and GolfStyles (formerly Washington Golf Monthly). Until 2008 it published the Washington D.C. based newsmagazine Insight on the News.[1] Since 1982, News World's best-known affiliate was the Washington Times. On November 2, 2010, Sun Myung Moon and a group of former Times editors purchased the paper from News World.[5]

The Big Cheese died last year--who's running the joint, these days? No one of his kids has popped up to be the "focus" that I'm aware of, anyway.

As a quirky aside, he was born in North Korea, and owned an auto plant there...he also owned a ton of sushi restaurants in USA.

is not at all the same entity as News World Communications, Inc. (the Moonie company).

News Communications owns Capitol Hill Publishing, the publisher of The Hill, a daily newspaper that focuses on Congressional lawmakers and other news from inside the Beltway. The company also owns Marquis Who's Who, the publisher of such directories as Who's Who in America and Who's Who in the World. News Communications is controlled by chairman Jerry Finkelstein and his son, James (president and CEO)
