The Role of the Mass Media in Parenting Education 

Released in 1997, the Project's report on The Role of the Mass Media in Parenting Education is still in demand as an innovative concept paper on parenting and the media. 

Prepared by A. Rae Simpson, Ph.D., the report analyzes the strengths and weaknesses in media attention to parenting issues and offers several recommendations for tapping the power of the media more effectively on behalf of parents and those who work with and for parents and families.
