ABSTRACT 

In an effort to illuminate a neglected field of study, this thesis will examine children’s 

magazines in the United States and the forces shaping them. Children’s magazines reflect the 

country’s history and attitudes about youth and yet limited research about these important 

periodicals exists. This look at the development and publication of children’s magazines from the 

eighteenth to the twenty-first centuries explores selected periodicals from the printing press to 

the World Wide Web. Significant aspects of research to be assessed are: (1) the status and role of 

children’s magazines (2) changes in publishing and marketing from early times to present, and 

(3) the future of children’s magazines. These periodicals are an important part of the written 

record of American civilization and an invaluable resource about the tastes, manners, habits, 

interests, and achievements of United States history. A major change in purpose occurred in the 

mid-nineteenth century when the tone lightened from “dreary moralizers” and religious 

conversion was changed to social conversion. “The child was still saved—but for this world not 

the next.” The editorial objective of children’s periodicals expanded from educating to include 

entertaining. Although children’s magazine methods of educating and entertaining have changed 

to accommodate seismic shifts from the Industrial Revolution to the Digital Revolution these two 

missions have not. Children’s magazines have existed in the United States since 1789 when 

George Washington became the first president and children were considered little adults, and 

research indicates these periodicals will continue to survive and thrive even with the fate of print 

in the hands of digital natives.
