Susan Kane was named editorial director of The Parenting Group in March 2008. In addition to overseeing all editorial content development for Parenting, Babytalk and Parenting.com, she also serves as editor-in-chief of Parenting magazine.

Kane was previously editor-in-chief of Babytalk magazine, a role she served since joining The Parenting Group in November 1998. In her 10 years as Babytalk's top editor, she increased the magazine's reach to over 5 million readers, helping women navigate the emotional roller coaster and practical realities of being a new mom.

During Kane's tenure at Babytalk, the magazine was a recipient of numerous industry awards, including a 2002 ASME National Magazine Award nomination and a 2005 win in the Personal Service category; a Henry R. Luce Award in the public service category; and an ASME "Best Cover" nomination in 2007 for the magazine's special issue on breastfeeding in August 2006. Kane frequently appears on national television, providing commentary on mom issues for programs including TODAY, Good Morning America and The Early Show. She also edited Babytalk's first book, The Babytalk Insider's Guide to Your Baby's First Year, published by Wellness Central Publishing in February 2008.

Prior to joining Babytalk, Kane held positions as executive editor at YM, executive editor at New Woman and senior editor at Woman. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Vassar College, Susan lives in Chappaqua, New York with her husband and two children.
