State Journal series on the elderly wins award
Wisconsin State Journal
American Society on Aging has honored the Wisconsin State Journal's series, "Elder Abuse: A Silent Shame," with its award for significantly increasing awareness of aging issues in local or regional media in the United States.
The seven-part series, written by Dean Mosiman and published in November 2007, explored gaps in the public safety net that is supposed to protect seniors from abuse, neglect and financial exploitation.
ASA, the largest organization of multidisciplinary professionals in the field of aging, will present the award in March at its 2009 Aging in America Conference in Las Vegas.
