From casual lunches for a few to a wide array of programs and events for a formidable network of members and the wider public, WMG has evolved to be an impactful and valued organization in the larger publishing and media landscape. Led for 50 years by a dedicated volunteer Board of Directors, WMG’s current co-presidents are Jodi Brockington and Jennifer A. Perry. WMG’s mission remains to enhance its members’ knowledge, educational opportunities, connections to one another, and career growth, fostering a vibrant community where members can thrive.

    This announcement originally appeared on the Fordham University blog.

    Sera Allen, a senior at Fordham College at Rose Hill, received Fordham’s first-ever award from the Women’s Media Group (WMG) this year.

    The nonprofit serves as a professional association for women in media, including the publishing industry, digital media, newspapers, TV, film, and more. It awards scholarships each year to students in New York city colleges and universities to help “support the education of future publishing professionals who have demonstrated leadership in advancing literacy and promoting diversity/underrepresented voices in our industry.”

    This was the first year the group added Fordham to its list of schools that receive awards each year, with Allen being the first recipient. As a part of the award, Allen received a $2,000 scholarship toward her education and three years of membership in the organization.

    Nevin Mays, co-chair of scholarships and fellowships for the organization said that they ask applicants to talk about their experiences, leadership skills, and goals for diversity in media, which is what Allen said she did for hers.

    “I wrote an essay to get the scholarship about how I want to go into publishing as a career and uplift women’s voices through publishing and writing,” she said.

    Allen, who’s looking to pursue a career in the publishing industry, said that she always knew she wanted to work in the field.


    “I’ve always loved books since I was little—I always knew it was my passion and that I wanted to be an English major when I got to college,” she said adding that she really enjoys autobiographical books because they help tell “people’s stories through challenges and triumphs,” and that helps her relate to different people.

    Allen said that she was grateful to Fordham’s English department, particularly the creative writing faculty, for helping her enhance her skills.

    “I think I’ve become a better writer throughout my four years,” she said, adding that her creative writing classes were small and interactive. “It was rigorous. The writing workshops we would do—every single student would give you feedback on your writing. It definitely helped me.”

    Mary Bly, chair of the Fordham English department, who is a member of the group, said that the membership in the group is “by far the most useful” part of the award, since students get to attend events, network with the members, and participate in workshops.

    Mays agreed that the networking and membership are the biggest benefits of the award, as usually the organization is open to women who have been in the field for 5+ years.

    “They can take full advantage of everything we offer. We have so many great events that our event committee comes up with,” Mays said, citing a few recent ones on women in power, branding workshops, and a featured event with dancer Misty Copeland.

    Bly said that she hopes this will help create more excitement for future applicants and create a cycle of women in the group from Fordham.

    “So next year, we’ll have a new senior, but Sera will still be a member, and so we’re hoping we can have revolving memberships,” she said. “This [award]is a very exciting one.”

    Allen said she’s already been to a few WMG events, including one for Black History Month.

    “I’m really happy and grateful I got this experience, and happy to be a part of the group for the next three years,” she said.

    This announcement originally appeared on the Medgar Evers College blog.

    Brooklyn, NY, March 16, 2023 — Medgar Evers College seniors Cassidy Ridgeway and Sherisma A. Liburd were recently named recipients of the inaugural Women’s Media Group Presidents Emerita Awards. Both are English majors who will receive financial support from the Women’s Media Group Educational Foundation. As WMG Scholars, each can join the organization as a member with full benefits for three years—their membership fees are waived for this period while they’re in school or starting their media careers.

    Ridgeway is currently on her way to obtaining a bachelor’s degree in English with a concentration in creative writing. Given her love of the written word, Ridgeway intends to become a social media manager upon graduation while having it be a major part of her non-work life.

    “In my free time, I enjoy writing various stories because writing allows me to find freedom through artistic expression, and it helps to build communications skills,” Ridgeway said.

    Liburd is an aspiring writer trying to find her place in the ever-bustling city that is New York, all while being a Teaching Artist at the Harlem Children’s Zone, where she teaches young scholars creative writing as well as music.

    “I love to write, from the news to songwriting,” said Liburd. “I am so grateful for this opportunity and hope that it only ascends from here on out.”

    Women’s Media Group Co-President Emerita Kathy Sandler said, “We’re so pleased to offer these scholarships to bright young women at a respected PBI (Predominantly Black Institution) in the New York metro area.” Julie Blattberg, also a Co-President Emerita, added, “WMG is all about community, and we welcome Cassidy and Sherisma to learn from the membership—as we expect to have much to learn from them.”

    With these awards, the WMG Board of Directors invites each WMG Scholar to participate in networking events, career-development programs, and workshops, and to take advantage of opportunities to network with professional members and other WMG Scholars.

  • April 01, 2020 1:57 PM | Christina Cerio (Administrator)

    The Women’s Media Group (WMG), a New York–based nonprofit association of women who have achieved prominence in the many fields of media, has finalized its new board and is pleased to welcome five new members as well as chart a path for continued connection and development.

    The new board for 2020–21 will be helmed by Kathy Sandler, who begins her second term as Co-President, and Julie Blattberg, former Chair of the Programming Committee, and now Co-President. Former Co-President Dee Dee DeBartlo will serve as President Emerita, and will continue to play a key role in shaping WMG programming and fundraising efforts.

    "For the coming Women’s Media Group board term, we’re building on the foundation that former Co-President Dee Dee DeBartlo set in motion,” said Sandler. “Namely, we’ll continue creating opportunities for women to help each other, and we’ll focus on growing and diversifying our membership along a number of key areas, as the definition of ‘media’ has evolved over the past decade."

    New members joining the board include Heather Alexander as Secretary; Stephanie Bowen, who has been an active member of the Programming Committee, now as official Programming Committee Co-Chair; Chandra Turner as head of Membership; Kelly Hoey as General Board Member; and Brianna Yamashita as Communications Lead. Former General Board Member Candi Sue Cross has the new role of Co-Chair of the Programming Committee.

    For the immediate future, Sandler and Blattberg say they will focus on creating programs and opportunities that will help WMG members connect virtually. “Though in-person educational, networking, and fundraising events are at the core of WMG membership benefits, we are—as every other organization and business is—taking our programming online, and keeping strong ties among the community with our newsletter and on public and private digital channels,” said Blattberg.

    The Women’s Media Group started in the early 1970s when a group of 5 women—friends and publishing colleagues Joni Evans, Judith Daniels, Elizabeth Crow, Eden Lipson, and Carol Rinzler—began meeting for lunch every now and then to talk about their jobs, their lives, their plans and hopes for the future. They eventually formed a club, and the Women’s Media Group was born.

    Almost five decades later, the group Evans helped found has grown and evolved; it continues to be a thriving network whose mission is to empower women and help them rise. Much has changed in the business of content and culture during the past 46 years, and those changes are reflected in the group’s membership, which now brings together professionals from a range of fields, including book, magazine, and newspaper publishing; film; television; and digital media—to meet, collaborate, inform, and support one another, and mentor young women interested in publishing-related careers.

    NEW YORK, NY (September 12, 2018) -  The Women’s Media Group hosted a panel,  ‘Leveraging Trends in Audiobook Publishing’ featuring audiobook leaders and pioneers including: Beth Anderson, Audible EVP and Publisher; Nita Basu, Senior Marketing and Publicity Coordinator, Hachette Audio; Amanda D’Acierno, President and Publisher, Penguin Random House Audio Publishing Group; and Mary Beth Roche, President and Publisher, Macmillan Audio; moderated by Robin Whitten of AudioFile magazine.

    Panelists: From l. to r.: Amanda D’Acierno, Nita Basu, Mary Beth Roche and Beth Anderson

    “Audiobooks are here. I no longer have to explain what audiobooks are,” said Robin Whitten, who founded AudioFile magazine 25 years ago, as she introduced the panel. ”Audiobooks are the top publishing format of the year” she said, and cited an increase in both the number of audiobooks published, from 12,000 audiobooks published in 2012 to over 46,000 audio books published in 2017, and a 22% growth in sales dollars in 2017.

    Panel Moderator: Robin Whitten, Audiofile magazine

    “2 billion hours of audio were downloaded on Audible last year,” said Audible EVP and Publisher Beth Anderson. She added that “audiobook listeners are readers, they listen everywhere, and book consumption goes up after they join Audible.”

    Asked where the next areas of growth and opportunity for audiobooks might be, Anderson said that smart speakers, meaning devices such as Alexa and Google Home, are an “exciting space to watch” and that she foresees growth in children’s books and in the international and global markets as well.

    Mary Beth Roche, President and Publisher of Macmillan Audio, focused on the audiobook connection to podcasting. She said that listeners were “reintroduced to the spoken word by podcasting,” and that “podcasting can support authors and help to broaden an author’s platform.”

    “When is it a podcast, when is it an audiobook? They're complementary - some audiobooks are now launched as podcasts” she said.

    Panelists were asked about exciting new and forthcoming audiobooks. Books mentioned included memoirs from Michelle Obama, the Beastie Boys, Sally Field, Roger Daltrey, and a performance by Patti Smith.  

    Mary Beth Roche was excited about the novels Baby Teeth by Zoje Sage, and The Night Tiger by Yangsze Choo, and gave away free audiobook download cards of the books to attendees of the luncheon.

    Robin Whitten of AudioFile magazine is enthusiastic about her new podcast called ‘Behind the Mic with AudioFile Magazine.’ The podcast is a different format for her for covering the world of audiobooks.  

    Also mentioned was a Stormy Daniels memoir coming out next month, news of which had been announced on ABC’s The View earlier in the day.  The book, Full Disclosure, will be published by St. Martin’s Press.

    Another audiobooks news item mentioned by the panel was that new Apple Watch will be audiobook compatible.  That news served to underscore an underlying theme of the luncheon, that the audiobooks boom is and will be taking place in all sorts of spaces - from phones to watches, to smart speakers to cars.
