About Us

Are you familiar with the PrimeLife Times? If you’re a regular patron of many familiar businesses and grocery stores throughout the central Illinois and west-central Indiana area, you’ve probably seen copies of the publication at the entrance doors.

The Great News Media Group (a division of Good News Radio Inc.) is delighted and honored to welcome this Central Illinois publication, its contributors, and wonderful advertisers, to our endeavors! The PrimeLife Times serves eighteen counties, with over 32,000 readers throughout central Illinois and west-central Indiana.

William Gingold of Urbana started the PrimeLife Times publication twenty-nine years ago, with the intent to keep seniors (those 50 and older), informed, engaged, and active in their everyday lives. He and the PrimeLife Times have held to this vision these many years, and the Great News Media Group plans to continue in this spirit. The publication has been a valuable contribution to the counties it serves

The PrimeLife Times features sections such as Lifestyles, News and Views, People and Places, Wellness, Health and Fitness, and Money Matters. Our publication aims to provide informative, engaging, and positive articles on a wide variety of topics. Though the publication is geared for the over-50 clientele, younger adults are also finding articles of interest!

This award-winning publication received praise from the prestigious Missouri School of Journalism at the University of Missouri. The judging committee commented, “The writing has a smart sensibility, and a positive uplifting spirit is evident throughout. The publication presents a model of continuity for readers by treasuring the past, while fostering a vigorous, purposeful future.”

The PrimeLife Times is available in hundreds of locations, as well as by subscription via the Subscribe link at the top of the home page.
