WINGS: Women's International News Gathering Service "Raising Women's Voices Through Radio Worldwide"
http://www.wings.org/ What WINGS Is . . . "WINGS is at different times horrifying, exciting, funny, eye-opening and definitely inspirational." --Nikki Reece, programme producer, Plains FM, Christchurch, New Zealand WINGS: Women's International News Gathering Service is an all-woman independent radio production company that produces and distributes news and current affairs programs by and about women around the world. WINGS programs are used by non-commercial radio stations, women's studies, and individuals. Programs can be heard on local radio stations, on shortwave, on the internet, and on cassettes. The WINGS Mailing List provides updates on stories and new information about women's media. "Though I have been involved in women's issues for years, I was still struck by the contrast of your broadcast to the news we are usually hearing -- news reflecting male interests in a basically male world. Women's affairs are a hidden current in the flow of world events."-- Kristin Reilly, listener, Buffalo, New York Producers' Guide For Submitting Stories To WINGS: Women's International News Gathering Service http://www.wings.org/submit.html WINGS Mailing List: E-mail [email protected] to receive periodic e-mail updates about WINGS programs and women's media issues.
