Chapter 4: “The Media’s Portrayal of Ageing” by Colin Milner, Kay Van Norman, and Jenifer Milner
The Media’s Portrayal of Ageing explores how negative stereotypes of aging evolved, and how the media and marketers help perpetrate these negative stereotypes. “Expectations of aging impact health beliefs, choices, behaviors, and outcomes”, says Kay Van Norman, President of Brilliant Aging, “so changing these negative perceptions of aging has the potential to impact individuals as well as society as a whole.” “I was honored to contribute to this book and hope that media and marketers will take the information to heart and play a pivotal role in changing the way we all view aging.” Download Chapter 4 (PDF) below:
