NEW YORK, Aug. 10, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bonnier's Parenting Group, publisher of Parenting, Babytalk and Parenting.com, and TODAY.com, the online home of America's No. 1 morning show, have announced a strategic partnership that will provide their parenting-focused web sites with the opportunity to collaborate on editorial content and marketing initiatives that provide moms with the news and views that matter most to modern families.  With a cumulative reach of over 30 million, The Parenting Group and TODAY.com will also work together on regular editorial features, surveys and programming, the first of which will be highlighted this morning on TODAY when the results of the Parenting.com/TODAY Moms "Mom Confessions" survey are revealed.  Over 26,000 respondents participated in the survey, which explored moms' views on their spouses, their sex lives and the behavior that leads them to judge other moms.

The TODAY.com Parenting section will feature Parenting.com content – including articles from its popular health guides, activity section, pregnancy planner, and "Ages + Stages" series, and the site also spotlights an exclusive "What's Hot Now" feed of parenting news curated by Parenting.com editors.  On Parenting.com, a TODAY.com video player highlights the most popular parenting and family-related news segments of the day, while a feed of stories from the TODAY Moms blog offers the latest conversation-starting headlines.  With significant cross-promotion, the two media organizations will offer advertisers the opportunity to package elements from both properties to create unique multimedia digital marketing programs reaching millions of moms.

"Parenting editors have been making regular appearances on TODAY for years, so our digital partnership is a perfect extension of our editorial relationship," said Mark Wildman, VP and Group Publisher, The Parenting Group.  "We're looking forward to leveraging the combined strength and reach of our digital assets to create marketing programs that reach modern moms everywhere they access our content – online, on-air, in print and on the go."

"TODAY.com delivers the news moms are talking about today – and Parenting offers trusted expertise on all the perennial challenges faced by parents every day," said Jen Brown, Site Director, TODAY.com.  "This partnership helps us give busy parents what they need to know whether they're in their living room, on their computer or out and about."
