FROM THE ARTICLE:

AARP CEO and editorial director discuss the key issues facing aging Americans and how AARP connects with the 50-plus community.

Since 1958, AARP has been spurring efforts to help aging Americans live their best lives. In a television segment aired on CBS Sunday Morning on April 13, AARP’s CEO, Dr. Myechia Minter-Jordan, and AARP’s editorial director, Myrna Blyth, unveiled how AARP connects with and supports America’s 50-plus demographic, which is experiencing significant growth, particularly among those 65 and older.

AARP The Magazine has a “staggering” audience of nearly 40 million readers, CBS Sunday Morning national correspondent Robert Costa noted in the segment. The magazine remains the highest-circulating print publication in the country because it unpacks topics that resonate with older Americans, Blyth explained. From health guides to money explainers to lifestyle advice and more, the content says, “We get you,” Blyth said. “We’re going to talk about things that matter to you because you matter."

Personally at age 67 this year 2025, I feel when AARP "changed" their membership from Age 50+ to Age 18+ = they NO longer care about us old folks.

I am still scratching my old head wondering WHY they felt anyone Age 18+ cares about AARP.

Sorry, but at Age 18, you could NOT get me to "join" even IF it was free.

But AARP is going to do whatever they want to do.

Take care,
