The Journalists in Aging Fellows Program

GSAlogo3

The Gerontological Society of America (GSA) is welcoming applications — from journalists who wish to cover issues in aging and/or who work for ethnic media outlets serving U.S. communities — for the ninth year of its Journalists in Aging Fellows Program. The application deadline is June 29th. Support in 2018 is provided by grants from The Silver Century Foundation, AARP, The Retirement Research Foundation, and The John A. Hartford Foundation.

The Fellowship Program has two goals: to educate journalists about issues in aging, better allowing them to spread a new awareness both to ethnic and general-audience populations; and to disseminate information about new scientific findings, policy debates, innovations, and evidence-based solutions.

A press release in EurekAlert! discusses how, since its founding in 2010, the Journalists in Aging Fellows Program has been responsible for approximately 600 news stories produced by 136 alumni.
