More about the New MetroKids
MetroKids is promoting greater interactivity with readers by connecting the features of the print magazine with the MetroKids Facebook page and its website.

Each month, content drawn from participants on the MetroKids Facebook fan page will be featured in print, including a "MetroKids Mom," a favorite photo and results from online polls.

Moms, dads and grandparents can share their feedback, experiences, ideas, opinions and photos on MetroKids.com, which also carries extras like expanded school listings, family-friendly events and links to additional information and features.

"We are looking for new ways to connect with young parents in print, online and on Facebook," said MetroKids founder Nancy Lisagor. "With our new look and features we want to expose even more families to the materials that have been helping parents for the last 21 years."

MetroKids' August issue, with its first-ever glossy cover, bears the appropriate headline, "A Fresh Start." The issue showcases the rebranded logo and new slogan: "smart. local. parenting." The publication is now standard magazine size, with interactive features added to its award-winning content.
