Resource Directory for African Women Journalists
Excerpt from the African Women's Media Center website:
The African Women's Media Center (AWMC) is pleased to issue this first edition of its Resource Directory for African Women Journalists. As the only comprehensive guide of its kind, this directory lists a host of resources critical to women seeking to strengthen their skills as journalists and to enhance their professional standing within the media.
Because women are often excluded from informal networks within newsrooms, and from access to information about training and resources, it is important that they have a set of tools developed specifically to meet their needs. The AWMC Resource Directory for African Women Journalists has been designed as a vehicle to link women to the institutions and opportunities that can offer them support, training, knowledge and connections. We hope women will use this directory as a tool in developing their careers and reaching out to their colleagues - both women and men - on the continent.

I hope this directory will also indicate what these media women can do. It will also help organisations know what women have done and who can be the right resource person for differnt activities.
This is a good inititive . Let's get started

Hi Brenda, thanks for your comment! Could you please tell us more about yourself - are you a journalist? Where are you working and what are your areas of responsibility?
