Empowering.

We are supporting women journalists in the UK to reach their full potential and manage their careers.

Women in Journalism is a not for profit organisation that provides guidance and support for journalists.

Our members are from diverse social and ethnic backgrounds, at every stage of their careers, and work across all platforms around the UK and overseas.

Alison Phillips, WiJ Chair and Mirror Editor-in-Chief

β€œThe media is the prism through which the world sees itself. For it to be fair and accurate we need all kinds of people from a host of diverse backgrounds telling all sorts of stories.  That makes great journalism.”

Women in Journalism is for every woman journalist of every age and ethnicity. We are for women working in every sector, and at every level, who want to fulfil their potential.

  • As an organisation we have high hopes for the future of women in journalism. We know there are systemic barriers to our progression and we want to help every woman who chooses journalism as a profession overcome them.

  • Bringing our members together is one of our top priorities. We want to give you the chance to network with your peers, as well as offer sessions to help you be strategic with your career and hear from women who have blazed trails in media.
