What constitutes an ideal father is now a current topic. I decided to research how the image of fathers and their role in child care has changed. I examined articles and their titles from issues of "My Baby" magazines from 1973-1997. I classified these articles under 3 catagories: l.Role of the Father; 2.Child Care Role; and 3.Questionaries on the Image of Fathers. I examined the fluxation in the number of articles, photographs and comic strips on these topics during the 25 year period. From 1973 to 1975, articles on the role of the father emphasized paternal authority; but from 1976 there was a shift in the focus of the articles from paternal authority to paternal Child Care. From the 1980' photographs began to accompany the articles and in the 1990's comic strips were added. It may be said from my analysis of these magazines that the role of the average father's contribution is reflected in these articles. The father's image has changed from the role of an authority figure to the role of a friend for the child.
