Three magazines will serve Church members worldwide in new print and digital formats; “Ensign” title will be retired; youth magazine will have a new name. The Church will replace its four current magazines with three global magazines: the “Friend” (for children), “For the Strength of Youth” (for youth) and the “Liahona” (for adults). This adjustment to the magazines will provide several benefits to Latter-day Saints around the world, including the following: For the first time, families outside of English-speaking countries will have the opportunity to subscribe to magazines specifically for children and youth.
