Parade magazine returns to The Dispatch
Parade returns to The Dispatch starting today. The Sunday magazine is among the most enduring in the newspaper world, having appeared in hundreds of U.S. newspapers weekly since 1941.
It also has a website at Parade.com.
It's a classic collection of news and features about entertainment, food, recipes and culture. The cover story today, for example, combines those topics in a story about cooking with Ayesha Curry, who hosts ABC'S Family Food Fight show.
Parade appears not only in print but also in our e-edition.
The magazine reaches about 44 million people, about 55% of whom are women, according to the publisher's readership statistics.
Regular features include
Stay Healthy, timely health updates from top experts to keep you well and thriving; Personality Parade, which is celebrity profiles and Q&AS timed to current entertainment events; Parade Picks, which are best bets, from books we love to trending products and styles; and What America Eats, a signature food franchise that digs into food topics each week, including Twist, Celebrity Kitchen, Trends, Entertaining and Tools.
New for 2019 is Across America, which is a celebration of people,
places, traditions, events and things that make America great — from the best road trips and spots for leaf peeping to stateby-state guides to beaches, ballparks & more. Also new this year is Parade Sports, a quarterly sports-themed issue takeover, including NFL (January), MLB (April), NCAAF (August) and NBA (October/november).
The Dispatch had its own Sunday magazine for many years, then carried Parade for a number of years before switching to another magazine, which ceased publication in 2014.
So after about five years without a Sunday magazine, we’re happy to have Parade back in the Sunday paper. We hope you enjoy it.
The Eagle has landed
We published a steady diet of stories related to the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing during the month leading up the actual anniversary on Saturday. Some were mostly historical, and others, such as one we published Saturday, looked at how the events of 50 years ago affected lives today.
And some were just plain fun, like the slideshows on Dispatch.com filled with historical photos and the quiz that allowed readers to test their knowledge of the moon walk.
It was pretty exciting stuff for a guy who, like a lot of others who were kids in that era, spent days building a replica model of Apollo 11 in
his basement and dreaming about what it must have been like to fly to the moon.
A simple question
In the wake of President Donald Trump telling four minority women in Congress to “go back” where they came from if they don’t like it here, we asked readers a simple question: Have you ever been told to “go back” to where you came from? We posted this on Dispatch.com and asked people to tell us their stories.
We did this because part of our role is to ask questions, start conversations and learn from the answers. And the answers were fascinating, ranging from angry suggestions of “bias” for even
