The New Media Women Entrepreneurs project will launch an awards program next year to spotlight the contributions of creative women who have launched entrepreneurial news or information ideas. Would you like to nominate an award candidate?
NMWE will honor one new media woman entrepreneur with a $2,000 award in 2009.
Nominate a woman whose creative contribution to news inspires you.
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.
