World Pulse was founded by Jensine Larsen.[5] In 2003, World Pulse was created as a non-profit media organization, to create a magazine that would address pressing global issues through the voices of women. In 2004, the magazine made its debut.[6][7] In 2007, World Pulse started a web site to complement the print magazine. The last print issue was released in 2011. Currently, World Pulse is an online-only media initiative.
