Baha'i News was founded as part of Shoghi Effendi's strengthening of the administration of the Baha'i Faith in his role as Guardian. As William Garlington writes in his book The Baha'i Faith in America, "[E]mphasis was placed on developing positive methods of communication between the various Baha'i administrative institutions. Special attention was given to the proper relationship between local and national assemblies as well as the desired manner of interaction between the National Convention and National Spiritual Assembly.
