| Aging
in America won the 2002 American
Society on Aging's National Media Award,
the National Press Club's Online Journalism
Award, a World Press Award, and three
top awards from the National Press Photographers
Association.
Eight
years ago, photographer Ed Kashi and reporter
Julie Winokur started documenting the
changing face of growing older in America.
Two years ago, MSNBC.com brought you “Years
ahead: Aging in America,” with photography
and audio reporting about youthful seniors
and innovative elder care. In
2003, MSNBC.com publishes an updated report
on how seniors are staying engaged in
their later years, and the love and loss
that accompanies growing old together.
Click
here (or on the underlined
title above and then on the link: "launch
slide show") to see and hear that story.
More
Picture Stories
from an earlier work by Winokur and Kashi.
Winokur has collaborated with her husband,
photojournalist Ed Kashi to produce
a series on social trends in America.
Aging in America emerged as a major
issue, one that will grow in importance
as the nation’s
demographics continue to shift. This
project is supported in part by the
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the
Open Society Institute and the California
Endowment.
Winokur’s and Kashi’s work
on this subject culminated in the MSNBC
web site, a book and a traveling exhibition.
