The concept behind this groundbreaking training for journalists is to provide an intensive seminar to deepen understanding of the health, economic, and social issues around aging. Led by leading experts in the field, the presenters are a resource for journalists who are covering a complex and interconnected field. The Age Boom Academy takes place during the summer at Columbia University in New York City. The fellowship covers the attendance fee; and for out-of-town fellows, economy travel and accommodation are provided.
