The Women’s Media Center (Making Women Visible and Powerful in the Media) is headquartered in New York City.  Four major programs include:

Sexism Sells (But We’re Not Buying It); Progressive Women’s Voices; Unspinning the Spin; and Women in Entertainment. 

Basically, the WMC (founded in 2005) works to ensure that women’s stories are told and women’s voices are heard.  They have a media advocacy campaign, they create their own media, and they train women to participate directly in the media.  A great list of statistics of women in various media forms is found here (did you know women only hold 3% of positions of clout in mainstream media – or that women outnumber the 95.9 million men online (April 2009)?  The Women’s Media Center blog is found here.
