Cohousing-L Mailing List: Getting an Article Published?

[Mac Thomson (macthomson]

I have an idea for an article that I’d like to get published in magazines 
and/or major newspapers. The idea for the article is to compare intentional 
communities, especially rural communities, with blue zones. Blue zones and 
rural intentional communities each support:
staying physically active
staying mentally active
healthy diet
community

These are the key factors identified in blue zones that support people living 
to be 100 and older. Here at Heartwood, we don’t have anyone who’s 100 yet, but 
we have some extremely active octogenarians.

Does anyone have any suggestions of how I could get such an article published?

I submitted article suggestions via the online portals for AARP and Prevention 
magazine, but both websites said that they get so many article ideas that I 
shouldn’t be surprised if I never hear back from them. I haven’t tried anything 
yet with big city newspapers because I’m not quite sure how to approach them.

Thanks for any suggestions you can offers.

Cheers,
Mac
