    DEAR PLUGGED IN ...

    I hesitated to renew my subscription because we get so many magazines. But then I realized that, in these days when it is so hard to communicate with my teens, your magazine engages them in a conversation about morality and culture, the conversation I wish I could have. They grab Plugged In out of the mail and read it closely while I pretend not to notice. It says the things I wish I could say but often can't because of the whole teen/parent thing. So I am renewing because this is a precious, vital thing you are doing.

    Thank you so much for publishing the Chart Watch column in Plugged In each month. It is so useful to have a profile of the multitude of music options emerging these days.

    You've got a positive, important and valued role to play in this postmodern culture we're trying to navigate.

    Being a teenager in today's world is difficult beyond measure. Your magazine is so encouraging!

    I'm 15 and I really enjoy your reviews and highlights of today's strange media. Many kids my age call me weird because I don't like MTV, teen comedies, etc., but I think you guys provide the real thing to parents. I don't think there is a review magazine that is as accurate as you are.

    Before discovering Plugged In three years ago, I was at the mercy of MPAA ratings and [sometimes misguided] advice from friends. Since then, your reviews have prevented me from making regrettable decisions.

    My family and I have always been very conservative in our movie watching. But now that I am at college, I don't always have my parents here to advise me. So I have turned to you.

    Our family subscribes to your magazine. I (Mom) am always telling people about it, but most don't seem to care. Often those I have told will later tell me about something they or their kids saw and how bad it was. I'm sitting there thinking, "If you had gone to Plugged In, which I told you about, you could have avoided your mistake."
