Feminist journalist, media critic, and media justice activist Jennifer Pozner has dedicated her career to reforming the systems that control and create media to more fairly and equitably represent and include women.
Jennifer Pozner is founder and Executive Director of Women In Media & News (WIMN), a media justice group that increases diverse women's presence and power in public debate through media analysis, education, and advocacy. She edits WIMN's Voices, a popular media monitoring group blog, and her freelance journalism has been published in corporate (eg., Newsday, Chicago Tribune, Boston Phoenix), independent (eg., Ms., Bitch, In These Times) and new media outlets (eg., American Prospect Online, AlterNet, The Huffington Post). Jennifer has offered commentary on CNN, MSNBC, ABC News Now, The Daily Show and, because she's a sucker for punishment, she's gone head-to-head with Fox News' Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly and John Gibson. In 2006, she was honored as one of "The Real Hot 100," a Girls in Government project honoring young women leaders. A noted lecturer on women, media, politics and pop culture, Jennifer's first book—on sexism and racism in reality TV—is forthcoming from Seal Press.
What is your momentum? Media is a women's issue, from content to production to policy. I'm passionate about media justice because we cannot achieve gender, racial and social justice without it.
