Summary

In today’s digital media landscape, we are inundated with visual images across an ever-growing list of platforms. Portrayals of older adults often perpetuate ageist stereotypes, such as depicting older adults as frail, technologically inept, or disconnected from the modern world. In this episode of 'Aging Rewired,' our guest Barbara Shipley, AARP’s Senior Vice President of Brand Integration, discusses AARP’s innovative work to reshape the image of aging and challenge traditional media's portrayal of older adults. Senior Planet from AARP is a community of older adults who are learning to thrive in the digital world. Senior Planet programs are offered free of charge online and in-person to help older adults build technology skills to allow them to improve their health, make new friendships, save money, and advocate in their communities.
