The Women's Media Center works to make women visible and powerful in the media. Led by our president, Julie Burton, the WMC works with the media to ensure that women’s stories are told and women’s voices are 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, in film, entertainment, and theater, as sources and subjects.
