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.

Funding for YOUR Project!

J-Lab, with funding from the McCormick Foundation, seeks to fund four women-led projects in 2010. Each project will receive up to $12,000. We are looking for individuals who have original ideas to create new Web sites, mobile news services or other entrepreneurial initiatives. Deadline: April 12, 2010. More details
