At present, its circulation in the USA has reached 10 million copies and the number of the readers there is 38 million. Outside the USA, another 40 million people throughout more than 70 countries also read this magazine in 21 languages.

In different countries, this magazine provides a window to the world for the local readers. Some parts of the magazine are about the local customs and interests of the local readers. The other parts give the local readers information from all over the world.
