These two family advice columns answer readers' questions about personal relationships and all sorts of family problems and issues. I think you'll find that the content in USA Weekend is relevant and attuned to today's lifestyles. But I'm equally impressed by the magazine's programs to get community interaction and involvement. Regular polls and surveys give readers a chance to speak up on important issues. The magazine's annual teen poll always provides some interesting feedback for parents to peruse.
Teens fill out surveys in the magazine each fall and results are presented in a spring cover story.
The magazine-sponsored Make a Difference Day also gets more than 2 million volunteers involved in community projects around the country each October. We will soon begin conversations with local organizations to identify the best opportunity and form partnerships in our area. The magazine also coordinates other content projects that help identify community heroes and help local charities. Like many of you, I'll miss seeing Parade on Sunday. But USA Weekend is an excellent product that we wanted to make part of our publication.
