Swanson Publishing, LLC
About Us
​
Swanson Publishing, LLC proudly produces Northern Connection Magazine, Pittsburgh 55+ Magazine, and our newest publication, Westmoreland 55+ Magazine.
​
Founded in 1999 by Marion Swanson Piotrowski, Swanson Publishing began with a mission to connect Pittsburgh’s northern suburbs through Northern Connection Magazine. This monthly publication quickly became a trusted resource, highlighting local people, businesses, education, faith, travel, and recreation.
​
In 2012, we expanded with Pittsburgh 55+ Magazine, a quarterly publication designed to serve the region’s growing senior community. It provides inspiring stories, engaging activities, and valuable resources for older adults and their families.
​
Building on this success, we launched Westmoreland 55+ Magazine in 2024 to bring the same uplifting content and practical information to seniors in Westmoreland County.
​
In 2022, Laura Arnold took the helm after working alongside her mother, Marion, for many years. As the second generation of Swanson Publishing, Laura is proud to continue the tradition of producing high-quality, community-focused magazines while fostering growth and innovation. Marion remains an integral part of the company, offering her insight and support.
Swanson Publishing’s magazines are distributed for free, made possible through advertising support. We offer affordable print and digital marketing solutions to help businesses of all sizes reach their target audiences effectively. Click here to learn more about our advertising packages.
