RESTON, Va. - TelAve -- Under this new coordination, the two pioneering organizations—both dedicated to serving older adults, caregivers, and professionals for over three decades—will collaborate closely while preserving their distinct brands and identities.

Steve Gurney, founder of the Positive Aging Community and Positive Aging SourceBook, will work in close partnership with Gordon Hasenei, who has acquired The Beacon Newspapers from founders Stuart and Judy Rosenthal and now serves as its publisher and CEO.

"This coordination between the Positive Aging Community and The Beacon Newspapers represents one of the most significant developments in media and resources for the 50+ audience in our region since both platforms were launched over 30 years ago," said Steve Gurney. "By combining our trusted expertise, comprehensive directories, engaging content, podcasts, live discussions, and print publications, we will deliver even greater value to consumers, families, and organizations navigating aging, senior living, caregiving, and longevity in Maryland, Virginia, D.C., Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, and beyond."
