Beliefnet

==History==
Launched in 1999 by [[Steven Waldman]] and Robert Nylen, Beliefnet filled a gap in the religious and inspirational content available online. In 2007, Beliefnet was acquired by the [[Fox Entertainment Group]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.beliefnet.com/|title=home|website=Beliefnet.com}}</ref> with a strategy of being integrated into other Fox-owned faith-based entities. This strategy was short-lived and ultimately evolved, again with the sale of Beliefnet in 2010, to BN Media, LLC, an entity that includes the investors behind [[Affinity4]] and Cross Bridge.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/blogs/company-town-blog/story/2010-05-27/news-corp-puts-beliefnet-on-the-block |newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]] |date=May 27, 2010 |author=Dawn C.
