Magazines have been circulating since 1663 when the first magazine, Edifying Monthly Discussions appeared in Germany. This magazine would be called a literary journal today and was targeted toward an elite, literate audience. The three most influential literary journals in England in the early 18th century were Review, Tatler and Spectator. Ironically the first periodical to use the word magazine in its title was Gentleman’s Magazine in 1731, which was a predecessor to Reader’s Digest. American
The media has greatly influenced the attitude of people towards the elderly. The portrayal of older people through media adverts, television programs, magazines, and newspapers greatly influence how people view older adults in the society. They not only reflect but also inform public attitude, thoughts, and feelings about older people. A larger percentage of the public views the elderly as frail, helpless, dependent, bothersome, and incompetent. Both the explicit and implicit messages presented by

Advertisements are meant to capture the attention of a particular group of individuals; based on their age, desires, and motives.

Baby boomers are actually thought to represent two specific cohorts. The “leading edge” cohort is comprised of those who were born from 1946-1954. Those in this category were greatly affected by the Vietnam War whereas the “trailing edge” cohort was “less embroiled in antiwar causes” (Morgan, Kunkel, & Morgan, 2011, p. 273-274). Those in these
