CCM MagazineCCM Magazine was founded by John Styll. The first copy was published in July 1978. The magazine was eventually purchased by Salem Publishing. Salem Publishing changed the name to Christ.Community.Music.® is a special interest consumer magazine that covers Christian music, publishing and entertainment from a faith-based perspective. Each issue contains news, interviews, book and album reviews and an in-depth look at the lives of faith based music artists. With a monthly circulation of 70,000, CCM Magazine was the leader in covering Christian music. When the magazine was first published, it was actually called Contemporary Christian Music and specifically covered that music genre. The name was later shortened to CCM which was still an acronym for Contemporary Christian Music. For a short time, the magazine changed its name to Contemporary Christian Magazine (keeping the CCM but broadening the scope) but then ultimately went back to Contemporary Christian Music (CCM). Then in May 2007, the name's meaning was changed to "Christ. Community. Music." The editor quickly pointed out that the term "contemporary Christian music" was dated and in some cases downright offensive. The name change was most likely a result of bands like Switchfoot being hesitant to be in a magazine that labeled them Christian. Now the magazine's editor says that Christ, community, and music are three entirely different things - thus, the periods after each word of the acronym to show that they are not related. The editor's explanation of the name change can be found in the May 2007 issue of the magazine. In October 2006, CCM Magazine launched its own social networking site, MyCCM. In February 2007 CCM Magazine published the article "A Look at the History of Contemporary Christian Music".
