<i>Long Island Parent</i> Launches With March/April Issue

Maybe the path to magazine success these days leads through local parenting publications. They certainly seem to be the only sector of publications launching amidst the industry-wide decline. The latest addition comes from Wordsmiths Media L.L.C., which has announced the launch of Long Island Parent, a magazine devoted to providing local families with news and information pertaining to bringing up children on Long Island. The first issue will be published in March 2009. Per the release: "Long Island Parent will quickly fill the void created with the closing of Newsday's Parents & Children last December. 'Parents had come to rely on our award-winning editorial content and information to help guide their busy lives," says Burby, who was founding editor of Newsday's Parents & Children. 'We look forward to continuing to provide the same editorial voices that readers have enjoyed over the past 10 years.'" Full release after the jump.
