The Women's Media Center

The WMC has one important goal: "Making Women Visible and Powerful in the Media." And this media organization is very successful in their pursuit of this goal.

Founded in 2005 as a non-profit organization, the WMC had this goal from the start. Their website has glaring statistics that demonstrate the huge misrepresentation of women in the media field.

"Simply put, there is a crisis of representation in the media. We live in a racially and ethnically diverse nation which is 51% female, but the news media itself remains staggeringly limited to a single demographic. While women hold less than 3% of decision-making “clout” positions in media, they also earned only 25% of all new media jobs created from 1990 -2005, despite constituting 65% of all undergraduate and graduate journalism and mass communications students."

Despite women having more education in the journalism and mass communication fields, it is men who are acquiring these jobs, not women.

The WMC's website has a myriad of information and resources by women for women. And this website has been gaining popularity, influence, and significant ever since it came to life.

The voice the needs to be heard, is now being heard. The WMC is here to stay and it is going to be a potent force in the field of women's media for years to come.
