Equal Parenting Cyclist Robert Pedersen - Front Page Detroit News, Mitch Albom Show, and the Dave Jaconette Show

Beyond Incredible!  Equal Parenting Cyclist, Co-founder of A Child's Right, DaddyBlogger and Detroit News featured fatherhood blogger Robert Pedersen made the FRONT PAGE of the Detroit News. This front page story with color photo was done by reporter Kim Kozlowski of the Detroit News.  This is Michigan's largest newspaper in the state of Michigan with overlapping coverage in Indiana and Ohio.  Circulation total is well over 300,000!

The article online also reached such popular demand that Detroit News placed in on their homepage and added additional online resources to the story.  They also linked to Robert Pedersen's blog with the Detroit News - he is one of their featured fatherhood bloggers.

The article by reporter Kim Kozlowski is still, after 24 hours in their most popular section on the homepage of the Detroit News.  With this success of this article Detroit News also conducted an online survey which is overwhelmingly in favor of shared parenting.

Be sure to comment on the article and vote in their online poll.  Also be sure to visit Robert Pedersen's blog with the Detroit News and comment on his four articles with many more to come.

Today Robert Pedersen was also on the Mitch Albom Show which is nationally syndicated and has a massive audience in the state of Michigan.  Not only does Mitch have a popular radio show, but he is also author of many books such as Tuesdays with Morrie and is a frequent guest on shows like Oprah and more.

 

Prior to the Mitch Albom show Robert interviewed on the Dave Jaconette Show out of Kalamazoo.  Robert seemed very impressed with Jaconette's interviewing style.  We are hoping to get recordings of the interviews.
