The OSJ is Out in the Public

The Oklahoma Senior Journal devotes a great deal of time meeting with the community at local events. Publisher Robin Gunn and representatives from the Oklahoma Senior Journal are present and involved at over 100 events a year! No other editor of an Oklahoma publication is at community events, openings, networkings, events, conferences, seminars and expos like the OSJ is! Doing so contributes to our success in two important ways: 1) We talk with community members about what’s on their mind, their questions and concerns. This helps include the information most wanted in our issues. 2) We can directly put our magazine in the hands of the public, often showing them where to find a particular business contact inside that they need. This how we are able to help the public and help our advertisers reach the right audience.
