Why create training programs for women journalists only?
Too often, women in the media do not have access to the training opportunities they need to move ahead in their profession. In addition, a one-size-fits-all approach to media training does not take into account the different work experiences, as well as the different personal and professional demands, that women in the media face. By creating programs designed specifically with women’s lives in mind, the IWMF is giving women in the news media an opportunity to acquire the skills and experience they need to excel as journalists and media managers.
