NMWE will honor one new media woman entrepreneur with a $2,000 award in 2009.
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.
Springboard, a venture capital firm, is looking for the best new big idea among new media women entrepreneurs. BusinessWeek and Women’s E News track the progress.
