NEWSNJOY is a Korean Christian newspaper founded in 2000 and is published in Seoul, Korea. Its purpose is to be 1) a guide for the unity of the Church, 2) a prophetic compass for Church reform, 3) a spiritual lamp for laypeople, and lastly 4) a bridge maker between the Church and the world.

NEWSNJOY has been introduced as a "progressive Korean Christian newspaper" by the BBC and the Christian Post because of its critical and reformative perspective when the kidnapping of twenty-three South Korean Christian charity workers by the Taliban occured in Afganistan in 2007. The Christian Post describes that the newspaper has "criticized aggressive missionary activities...[and]...has urged Christians to understand and respect different religions and cultures." (Michelle A. Vu, in the Christian Post, 24th July 2007).

In the same year, NEWSNJOY USA branched out to New York and Los Angeles, and has now expanded to New Jersey and Washington D.C. NEWSNJOY USA not only brings information and news from Korea, but also covers Korean American churches and theological issues discussed in America. Its interests are slightly different from those of NEWSNJOY in Korea, yet they both share the same purpose.

NEWSNJOY USA has been offering educational/formational opportunities for pastors and laypeople to deepen their knowledge of faith by creating a program "NEWSNJOY Academy" in New York, New Jersey, and Los Angeles.
