Selected AbstractsThe Invisibility of Advanced Practice Nurses in Popular MagazinesJOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF NURSE PRACTITIONERS, Issue 3 2001Susan L. Norwood EdD PURPOSE To determine the image portrayed in the media of nurses and particularly nurse practitioners (NPs) compared with other health care providers. DATA SOURCES An analysis of advertisements and articles in popular magazines aimed at female, male, and gender-neutral audiences was conducted between 12/99 and 06/00. Relationships between target audience and content of advertisements and articles, as well as portrayal of health care providers were also explored. CONCLUSIONS A review of 100 consecutive advertisements for health-related products and 96 consecutive health-related articles in popular magazines revealed that the media continues to overwhelmingly depict and promote physicians as the source of health care and health-related advice. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Because when there are few references to a group, such as NPs, it is reasonable to assume group members have little influence, standing, and authority, NPs should be concerned about the implications of these findings. Strategies for increasing the visibility of NPs as credible and valuable members of the health care team are shared.

As modes of fame multiplied, the audience of celebrity understood itself as a collective,often British, polite, class-oriented,and as individuals modeled through the individualized celebrity that periodicals could project. This process,centered on fashion and fame,integrated notions of the popular and the common with those of the spectacular and the unique. For emerging discourses that consolidated middle-class ideals, such as gastronomy, sports, and contemporary etiquette, the popular magazines occupied a crucial position in what Jon Klancher has denominated "the social text" and helped legitimize themselves by producing their own localized celebrities. Exploring articles from a range of periodicals on a diverse set of topics, this essay shows the reliance of popular magazines on popular culture, understood both in terms of those celebrities of popularity and those commonplace games, sports, and activities associated with the populace. [source] A Weak Embrace: Popular and Scholarly Depictions of Single-Parent Families, 1900 , 1998JOURNAL OF MARRIAGE AND FAMILY, Issue 2 2009Margaret L. Usdansky The growth of single-parent families constitutes one of the most dramatic and most studied social changes of the 20th century. Evolving attitudes toward these families have received less attention. This paper explores depictions of these families in representative samples of popular magazine (N = 474) and social science journal (N = 202) articles. Critical depictions of divorce plummeted between 1900 and 1998, a trend stemming not from any increase in favorable depictions but from the virtual disappearance of normative debate. Such de facto acceptance did not extend to nonmarital childbearing, however, depictions of which were almost as likely to be critical at the century's end as at its beginning. These trends illustrate Americans' ambivalent embrace of single-parent families as a reality but not an ideal.
