Description: Archived website (2013 to present) of the Alliance for Women in Media, formerly American Women in Radio and Television (AWRT), a professional organization based in Lexington, Kentucky, that advocates for the advancement of women in the field of media. AWRT was formed in 1951 as a response to the National Association of Broadcasters's (NAB) decision to dissolve its women's division, the Association of Women Broadcasters. Its stated mission is to "advance the impact of women in the electronic media and allied fields by educating, advocating, and acting as a resource to our members and the industry." Along with serving as an advocate for women in the broadcasting and cable industries, AWRT also provides job information services, professional development programs and works to provide networking opportunities for its members. Since 1953, AWRT has staged a yearly national convention consisting of workshops, panel discussions and other events for its members. In 1960, AWRT formed its Educational Foundation, the first broadcasting organization to ever do so. The Foundation sponsors educational programs, charitable activities, scholarships, and its annual Gracie Allen Awards. The Alliance for Women in Media website includes information about its board of directors, trustees, staff, annual reports, newsletter, awards program, foundation, events, membership, and career center.
