A new community that supports your journey as a woman news leader

Women who became friends at INN Days and have since met up at other journalism conferences realized when discussing the particular challenges women news leaders face that we should form a group where we can discuss these challenges and strategies to address them. That’s how Women Leading the News was formed.

Join us to strengthen your support network.

Connect with other women leaders via Zoom meetups, an email listserv, and coffee hours at national journalism conferences. Option to receive leadership training with a small group of women news executives.

Being a news leader can sometimes feel like a lonely and difficult journey, but it doesn’t have to be. We can provide essential support to each other as a community. Women still face challenges as leaders. Peer support can be an important source of knowledge and help.
