Stateline Seniors News is for mature people over 50 in the Stateline area of northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. This is where our writers live and you are who they write about.
Our free paper edition will be distributed monthly to seniors in Winnebago County and Boone County, Illinois, and in Rock County, Wisconsin. The first edition comes out in October 2023. But we’re online all the time at statelineseniors.com, with new stories and features added frequently.
In fact, reading it online might even be easier than on paper. If our text is too small to read on your computer, you can pressing down the Ctrl key and the + key at the same time. Or on your phone screen, “pinch and zoom” with two fingers, as if you were trying to stretch the screen.
Contributions are welcome from local writers and event organizers! Send us your stories and events.
Dear PR representatives: please note that we cannot publish anything you send us that lacks a local angle or that’s not interesting to local seniors.
Like many people, your editor is also thinking about the best Medicare plan, deciding whether to check up on his parents or his son, wondering what to eat, and glad he no longer has to worry about being cool, like he did in high school. Because as everyone in high school knows, seniors are cool.
Distribution and Subscriptions
Stateline Seniors News is being distributed for free in Rockford, Belvidere, Roscoe, Loves Park, Cherry Valley, Beloit, Janesville, and Milton, and other places where seniors can be found.
