Youth for Christ magazine was founded in 1944 as an organ of the network of independent evangelistic youth rallies that was coalescing into the organization
Youth for Christ (YFC). In the early years, the publication focused on the evangelistic programs of its parent organization, featuring coverage of YFC's international efforts and the rise to fame of
Billy Graham, who had begun his career as an evangelist employed by YFC. In the 1950s and beyond it expanded its focus to discussing current cultural and social concerns from a Christian perspective. In October 1965, the name of the magazine was changed to
Campus Life, the same name YFC had begun using for its local high school clubs. The March 2009 edition of
Christianity Today described the decision to discontinue the print publication as product of "general belt-tightening efforts demanded by the current economy" and assured readers that the publication would continue in online form. == References ==
