The Women's Media Center – makes women visible and powerful in the media. The WMC works with the media to ensure that women's stories are told and women's voices heard.

We are directly engaged with the media at all levels to ensure that a diverse group of women is present in newsrooms, on air, in print and online, as sources and subjects, New York, NY.
