The Women’s Media Center Honors Outstanding Feminist Journalists

The Women’s Media Center had its first annual media awards last night at the Arthur M. Sackler Foundation (yes, the same Dr. Elizabeth Sackler who created the feminist art center at the Brooklyn Museum). The place was packed with supporters–folks who obviously recognize that the media is still sullied with sexism and must be held accountable. Think Bill O’Reilly. Think C. Gordon Liddy. Enough said. The honorees were…
