Woman's Day is written for American women and, more specifically, working, married mothers in their early-30s to mid-50s. Mission is to provide a broad base of information which American women can use in their daily lives. Topics covered by the magazine include Food, Health, Fitness, Fashion, Beauty, Money Management, Home Decoration, Child Care, Family Issues, and Crafts including anything that informs women on how to simplify their life or make their dreams come true. The print magazine is published 7 times per year. The US edition began publishing in 1931 as a free in-store menu/recipe planner at supermarket chain A&P, calculated to make customers buy more by giving them meal ideas in an easy-to-read format available inside A&P grocery stores. Following the 1936 opening of A&P's first modern supermarket (in Braddock, Pennsylvania), A&P expanded Woman's Day in 1937 through a wholly owned subsidiary, the Stores Publishing Company. Selling for two cents a copy, the magazine featured articles on childcare, crafts, food preparation and cooking, home decoration, needlework and health.Sold exclusively in A&P stores, Woman's Day had a circulation of 3,000,000 by 1944. This had reached 4,000,000 by the time A&P sold the magazine to Fawcett Publications in 1958. By 1965, Woman's Day had climbed to a circulation of 6,500,000.Fawcett was sold to CBS in 1977, and CBS, in turn, sold its magazine division to a group led by division head Peter Diamandis, who renamed the group Diamandis Communications. In 1988 Woman's Day, along with the rest of Diamandis, was acquired by Hachette Filipacchi Medias. Hearst Magazines bought the Hachette' U.S. magazines in 2011.It continues to focus on traditional values of home, family and children.

Home & Garden Television (HGTV) offers 24-hour programming solely about home and garden topics in five categories: gardening and landscaping, building and remodeling, crafts and hobbies, interior design and decorating, and lifestyle and special interest. This national network launched on December 30, 1994 and remains one of the fastest growing cable networks. HGTV's mission is to provide comprehensive information to inspire the home enthusiast. The creation of E.W. Scripps President and COO Ken Lowe, a former architect and avid do-it-yourselfer, the network is headquartered in Knoxville, TN, along with Scripps Productions, the in-house production company. The network's additional offices are located in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, and Detroit. Viewers of the network can see about 35 informational shows per day and approximately six specials per week. Many of the shows travel to exotic locations and book guests, including some of America's most renowned home builders, re-modelers, decorators, interior designers, gardeners, craft experts, and lifestyle hosts, as well as celebrity guests who offer their homemaking advice and tips. HGTV is distributed to more than 92 million households in the United States. Internationally, the network is seen in Canada, Japan, Australia, Thailand, Hungary, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic and the Philippines. It is wholly owned by Scripps Networks, Inc., which also operates The Food Network, Do It Yourself (DIY) network, and Fine Living. HGTV has strict guidelines about pitching products, story ideas, and guests to any of its shows. According to network executives, there is only one way to pitch a story idea, and that is by going to the story idea Web page at http://resourcedirectory.hgtv.com. The network strongly states this is the only way to submit a story idea for an HGTV show. However, many producers of the shows that appear on the network are very open to receiving press releases, as well. These producers generally select the show topics, locations, and guests, and are responsible for product placements. PR professionals are advised to contact the producer of the individual show with any show and location ideas, events listings, product placement opportunities, industry awards, company profiles, personality appearances, and how-to information. As a service to its clients, Cision lists the direct contact information of the production companies within each show's profile, if available.
