Here's the official press release:
"THE MOVIE MOM” MOVES TO BELIEFNET
Nell Minow, Trusted Advisor to Parents about the Best Kid-Friendly Movies,
TV and Web Entertainment Settles in at a New Online Home
New York, NY – December 10, 2007 – Beliefnet.com, the leading online
community for spirituality and inspiration, today welcomes popular author
and parental entertainment advisor, Nell Minow, to its roster of
contributing bloggers. Blogging as “The Movie Mom,” Ms. Minow will provide
reviews, quizzes, tips and advice about which movies, DVDs, television
programs and Internet sites are most appropriate for children of varying
ages. Originally hosted by Yahoo!, “The Movie Mom” will now take up
residence on Beliefnet’s entertainment channel and will be accessible from
www.beliefnet.com. Visitors to www.moviemom.com will be automatically
redirected.
Nell Minow, as “The Movie Mom” has been featured in The Chicago Sun-Times,
USA Today, The Chicago Tribune, Parents, Family Fun and other publications.
She has been profiled by The New York Times, The Economist, Forbes, The
Chicago Tribune and Ladies Home Journal. Her book, The Movie Mom’s Guide
to Family Movies, has helped parents from all over present their children
with entertainment that is both safe and fun.
“Beliefnet is the best possible place for me because it allows me to write
about movies and popular culture in the context of family, community,
values and meaning, which is where it belongs,” says Nell Minow. “Movies
are our modern-day myths, our sagas, our dreams made real. They reflect
our history and culture back to us and reinforce and pass on—for better or
worse—those values to our children. I am very happy to have a place to
write about those issues and to enter into conversations with families to
understand how these influences are transmitted and to help them respond.”
In her blog, Nell Minow guides parents through all the hype, and helps them
reach an educated decision before they arrive at the theatre. Ms. Minow
also provides reviews for holiday DVDs to ease the pressure of shopping for
appropriate gifts for children.
“We’re so glad to have Nell’s expertise to offer Beliefnet readers. She’s
recognized, loved and respected by families in every community,” said
Deborah Caldwell, Managing Editor for Beliefnet. “She’s full of wise,
creative and fun advice to help parents navigate the often rocky terrain of
parenting in today’s media-saturated world.”

variety of spiritual voices, and cover a wide range of topics including
