History and profile

{{Expand section|date=July 2008}}

The predecessor magazine, known as The Youth's Instructor, was established in 1852 by James White, husband of Ellen G. White.Historical Dictionary of Seventh-day Adventists by Gary Land, p324 It was distributed primarily through the Sabbath schools.Dictionary, p241

Under the editorship of Lora E. Clement in the early-mid 1900s, the circulation increased from about 25,000 to 50,000.Dictionary, p65

The Youth's Instructor was replaced by Insight in 1970. The headquarters of Insight was in Hagerstown, Maryland.{{cite book|author1=Stephen Blake Mettee|author2=Michelle Doland|author3=Doris Hall|title=American Directory of Writer's Guidelines: More Than 1,700 Magazine Editors and Book Publishers Explain What They Are Looking for from Freelancers|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ek960DxJ9Z0C&pg=PA334|accessdate=2 December 2015|date=1 December 2006|publisher=Quill Driver Books|isbn=978-1-884956-58-4|page=334}}

"In 2016 Lori Tripp Peckham returned as editor to curate one final year of Insight. The “farewell tour,” with no original material in each issue beyond a short editor’s message, reprinted story and feature highlights from throughout the magazine’s history. “Now it’s time for a change,” Peckham wrote to readers. “The North American Division Youth and Young Adult Ministries Department is launching something completely new. Keep watching right here to find out what’s coming next.”113

One year later Insight printed its last issue, dated July 1, 2017, though with no announcement of anything new to succeed it. While the NAD focused on developing resources for Sabbath school programming,114 the church created no new media to replace Insight."{{Cite web |last=Wheeler |first=Tompaul |date=March 9, 2023 |title=Insight |url=https://encyclopedia.adventist.org/article?id=8JFO |website=Encyclopedia of Seventh-day Adventists}}
