Directory of Women's Media Organizations
A directory of media owned and operated primarily by, for and about women, organized by media type and location, and including advocacy groups. Produced by The Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press, updated regularly over the past 35 years, and featuring hundreds of organizations, the 2008 edition is available online and in print.
This is a directory
of media owned and operated primarily by, for and about women.
We do not include men's "women's magazines" (magazines
directed at women), even if they have a female staff. We do include
many academic periodicals which are published by institutions,
but only those where women determine content and make up the majority
of the staff. If a woman's media feels it fits our definition,
we usually include them.
In the 1970's and '80's, the Women's
Institute for Freedom of the Press published 15 annual editions
of the Directory of Women's Media. The National Council
for Research on Women, in New York, published two more editions
in the early 1990's. Now, once again, WIFP is publishing of the
directory of periodicals, publishers, media organizations, and
other media categories. It is available here on the WIFP website
with no access charge. Since we are continually updating the Directory,
please send us any new entries or changes so we can immediately
include them. We want the Directory to be as accurate and
as inclusive as possible particularly when we produce our print
version of this Directory of Women's Media available.
