Parents, currently published by the Meredith Corporation, is the oldest parenting publication in the U.S.
Its editorial focus is on the daily needs and concerns of contemporary moms with young children. The glossy monthly features information about child health, safety, behavior, discipline and education. There are also stories on food, fashion, home, health, pregnancy, marriage, and beauty, aimed primarily at women ages 18-35.
Popular columns include As They Grow, which cover age-specific child development issues, as well as the reader-generated Baby Bloopers and It Worked for Me. The magazine also produces a website[1], regular podcasts[2], and Goodyblog[3]. The editor-in-chief is Sally Lee, and the circulation hovers around 2 million.
WCBS-TV aired segments about this magazine during its afternoon newscasts throughout the 90s.
The magazine was started by George J. Hecht in 1926. It was sold to Gruner + Jahr in 1978, at which time Elizabeth Crow became the magazine's editor for the next decade. Meredith acquired the magazine when Gruner + Jahr left the US magazine business in 2005.
