women’s and human rights issues in news and

activate women’s and other public interest
groups to challenge structural,
institutional and contextual media bias and
demand accountability from media outlets –
while simultaneously working with media
producers to broaden the quantity and
diversity of women’s voices appearing in the
media. We seek gender equity for women as
news sources, placing an emphasis on

female population, including lesbians, women
of color, low-income women as well as youth
and senior citizens. (Based in the USA)
