Communication Best Practices: Reframing Aging Initiative Guide to Telling a More Complete Story of Aging
The Reframing Aging Initiative has released "Communications Best Practices: Reframing Aging Initiative Guide to Telling a More Complete Story of Aging" that uses the evidence-informed findings and best practices style guidance to detail how to apply age-inclusive, bias-free language in everyday communications.
The Reframing Aging Initiative Guide makes it easier to identify wording that can be improved, which terms to avoid and which terms to advance. It can be used when crafting presentations, press releases, academic papers, letters to the editor, websites, publications, consumer materials, speeches, and other communications.
The Reframing Aging Initiative is a long-term, grant-funded social change endeavor designed to improve the public’s understanding of what aging means and the many contributions older people bring to society. Ultimately, this guide and other resources from Reframing Aging hope to counter ageism and guide the nation’s approach to ensuring supportive policies and programs for all people as they move through the life course.
