Elder Voices
Somewhere along the way the news got small. Not less important — smaller. The type shrank, the buttons moved, and the story you wanted sat behind three taps and a video that started playing on its own. A lot of people in this city simply stopped trying.
This page is built the other way around. One screen. Big type, and a control at the top to make it bigger still. Every item is a headline, a couple of sentences telling you what happened, and a link to the people who reported it. No slideshow. No autoplay. No guessing where to click.
The middle column is Worcester, because that is where you live and that is what actually changes your week — the elevator at Union Station, the deferral deadline at City Hall, the shuttle at Green Hill Park. The left column carries the news that follows you into retirement: Social Security, Medicare, housing, the scams that target this city hardest. The right column keeps the wider world in view, because getting older did not make anyone less curious.
And the list of services stays pinned in place, every day, whether or not there is news attached to it. That is the part we consider the real front page.
Senior Report Today publishes every morning from Worcester, Massachusetts.
