People seeking information that affects the lives of senior adults rely on Senior Digest, the award-winning, larger-print newspaper mailed to thousands of subscribers. Published by the Department of Aging since April 1977, the Digest offers articles on relevant local, state and national issues and on resources, programs and services which provide needed assistance.
Health care professionals write articles targeted to older people; travel stories and upcoming "travel opportunities" entice readers, as do local entertainment options and upcoming events. Features include articles on Medicare, veterans' concerns, safety, financial matters, legal issues, healthful eating with appropriate recipes, book reviews, activities at senior centers and other senior organizations, and interviews with vital older people.
Businesses which recognize the value of the senior market advertise their products and services, and readers can place low-cost ads in the classified section. Senior Digest is published every six weeks, eight times a year. The cost is $5 per year for Baltimore County residents aged 60 and over, $7 per year for all others.
