Caroline Connell promoted to be Editor in Chief of Today's Parent

Caroline Connell has been promoted to Editor-in-Chief of the Today’s Parent Group effective September 18, 2006. The Today’s Parent Group includes Today’s Parent magazine, Todaysparent.com and the special editions—Today’s Parent Pregnancy & Birth, Today’s Parent Newborn and Today’s Parent Baby & Toddler magazines. (She replaces Linda Lewis, who moved to Transcontinental to edit More, its joint venture title with U.S. publisher Meredith.)

Connell joined Today’s Parent in 2002 as Senior Editor and was promoted to Executive Editor in 2003. Connell took a lead role in creating the Today’s Parent For Kids’ Sake Awards and a groundbreaking survey on breastfeeding that will appear in the next issue (October 2006).

Connell earned her master’s degree in journalism from the University of Western Ontario and has worked at numerous newspapers and magazines. In 1992, she joined Chatelaine as Senior Editor and was promoted to Managing Editor in 1997 before moving to Today’s Parent in 2002.

“As a mom, I was a reader of Today’s Parent before I came to work here,” says Connell in a company release. “So I know first-hand just what an amazing resource it is—insightful, reassuring and fun. Becoming Editor-in-Chief is an incredible honour.”
