WASHINGTON—AARP The Magazine (ATM) announces its first-ever bonus digital issue that explores how aging in America is changing from all angles, be it medical, financial, cultural and even psychological. The special issue, which features some 14 feature stories, was created to commemorate AARP’s 65^th anniversary since its founding in 1958.

This bonus ATM gives readers insight into the lives of celebrities 50-plus who exemplify longevity and reflect on aging – such as cover star Martha Stewart. In an exclusive first-person story, the businesswoman, writer and TV personality says she keeps busy every day by constantly trying new things and challenging herself. From recently gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated to maintaining her friendship with Snoop Dogg, to traveling with her grandchildren, she refuses to live a life of regrets and “what ifs.”
