Our Focus

NMWE is a unique initiative addressing opportunity and innovation, recruitment and retention for women in journalism by spotlighting their ingenuity and entrepreneurial abilities. Pilot projects will show what can be done. Research will tell us what more to do. And an awards program and summit will showcase women’s creative ideas. NMWE is supported by the McCormick Foundation.

New Research!

The journalism is characterized by a deliberate shift in the definition of objectivity, a drive for community conversation and discussion and other themes. Read the report.
