CARY, NC, September 22, 2012 (Press-News.org) Signal Hill won two gold, two silver, two bronze and two merit honors last month in the 21st annual National Mature Media Awards.

The competition is the nation's largest awards program honoring the best in marketing, communications, educational materials and programs for adults age 50 and older.

"We are privileged to share the stories of our clients and honored by these awards," says Mallory Flynn, Signal Hill's content manager. "And the recognition of Senior Correspondent, which is entirely powered by the voices of older adults, confirms our belief that people desire a seasoned view of the world."

Launched two years ago, Senior Correspondent (www.seniorcorrespondent.com) is a first in participatory citizen journalism: an Internet and community-based platform where writers over the age of 60 report on politics, arts, travel, health, technology, money and work.
