Nine Media is a non-profit organization that creates thought-provoking, Christian media.
We offer a compelling online voice that reflects Christ’s message of love through culturally relevant media. We are firmly focused on encouraging young people to deepen their faith in God as they learn to fulfill their God-given purpose.
Nine Media’s Vision is to become a community of confident young people who embody the Holy Spirit and emulate God’s character throughout all aspects of their lives.
Nine Media, Inc. was formed as the non-profit Nine Magazine, Inc. in 2005. Originally a print publication, niNe. magazine launched with an initial print run of 20,000 copies and Bethany Hamilton, the shark-attack survivor, on the cover.
At the height of the 2008-2010 recession and due to other industry variables like the rise of online-only and digital editions, niNe. magazine relaunched in 2010 as an online-only publication. niNe. celebrated its 10th Anniversary in 2016 with a new website design. In 2018, Vicki Krings-Wilstermann joined Founder, Melinda Laging to transition Nine Magazine, Inc. to Nine Media, Inc.
Now, with an expanded vision and mission, Nine Media, Inc. hopes to reach more teens and young adults with new relevant and thought-provoking Christian and Biblically inspired media along with an online community.
Nine Media believes that community between youth is built by encouraging God honoring interaction. That community should also be reflected throughout all levels of our organization and operations and should be a part of a concerted effort to connect and work with other ministries in order to promote what God is doing as a whole.
Nine Media is committed to ensuring that all our content meets our established standards of quality and integrity. We strive to produce quality work that reflects God’s character and hope to offer solid content that is worthy of our readers' time and attention.
Nine Media believes that all our content should reflect God’s glory and truth, and that we must speak God’s truth directly without manipulation or misdirection.
