Women's e-news

Women’s eNews is the definitive source of substantive news–unavailable anywhere else–covering issues of particular concern to women and providing women’s perspectives on public policy. It enhances women’s ability to define their own lives and to participate fully in every sector of human endeavor. Women’s eNews editors seek out freelance writers from around the world to write on every topic–politics, religion, economics, health, science, education, sports, legislation–and commission them to write 800-word news articles for distribution each day to our subscribers and for posting on our Web site. We rely on the best practices of journalism and have gained enormous credibility by doing excellent journalism each day. Our commentaries–distributed each Wednesday–are written by prominent advocates. We also offer a monthly column in the media, Uncovering Gender, and update our page each week with an editorial cartoon by Pulitzer-prize winner Ann Telnaes. (full text).
