Shedlin's commentaries have been distributed by The New York Times News Service, Hearst Newspapers, The Cox News Service, and have appeared in such publications as The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Houston Chronicle, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Ventura County Star (CA), Beaumont Enterprise (TX), and numerous other local papers and newsletters. Shedlin has written for such professional publications as Education Week, Phi Delta KAPPAN, and Principal magazine. He also has produced an online column, "FamilySense," as a special project for the Benton Foundation in Washington, DC, and authored two regular columns - "Raising Families" and "Daddying." He was the featured Father's Day guest on Voice of America's international call-in program, "Talk To America."

"Shedlin has the ability to put common sense ideas into language that reaches a wide audience and provokes people to examine long held beliefs and change them when necessary. He has been writing and speaking about 'daddying' (a word he coined) for years - long before it became a popular issue. And he thinks about how daddying affects not just children for the better, but how it affects men for the better."

-- Ruth W. Wooden, former president, National Parenting Association and former president, The AdCouncil
