Awake!
''Awake!'' is a bimonthly illustrated magazine published by Jehovah's Witnesses via the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania and printed in various branch offices around the world. It is considered to be a companion magazine of ''The Watchtower'', and is distributed by Jehovah's Witnesses in their door-to-door ministry. ''Awake!'' is considered to be the second most widely distributed magazine in the world (after ''The Watchtower''), with a total worldwide printing of 57,761,000 copies in 103 languages per month.〔(Awake! No. 1 2016 issue, page 2 )〕〔Newspaper Today. 20 February 2012. ''(Top 5 World’s Best Magazines )''. Retrieved 30 May 2012.〕
== History ==
The magazine was originally published bi-weekly ("every other Wednesday") under the name ''The Golden Age'' on October 1, 1919, by the International Bible Students Association. (In 1930 it was published in Danish under the name ''New World''.〔''The Watchtower'', April 1, 1990, page 28, "In 1930 the magazine ''The Golden Age'' (now ''Awake!'') began to be published in Danish under the name ''The New World''."〕) On October 6, 1937, it was renamed ''Consolation'' and continued to be published bi-weekly until July 31, 1946. On August 22, 1946, the magazine was renamed ''Awake!''〔''Revelation - Its Grand Climax At Hand'', pages 146-147〕〔''Watch Tower Publications'', Watchtower Publications Index, 2008〕 and until 2005 was published semi-monthly in major languages (on the 8th and 22nd), monthly in many languages, and quarterly in a few languages. As of January 2006, the magazine was published monthly, and as of 2016 it is published bimonthly.〔''Our Kingdom Ministry'', March 2005, published by the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, "beginning with its January 2006 issue, ''Awake!'' will be published as a monthly magazine. This will result in considerable simplification in the preparation, translation, and shipping of our literature. This change will affect about 40 percent of the languages in which ''Awake!'' is published. In most languages, ''Awake!'' is already a monthly or a quarterly publication."〕
