A big congratulations to fellow Durham blogger (and The Durham News columnist) Pam Spaulding, whose blog Pam's House Blend is a major national force on the LGBT and politics scene, for a pretty big national-level honor.
The New York-based Women's Media Center (WMC) has named Spaulding one of two online journalists (along with Slate.com's Rebecca Traister) to win one of the first-annual WMC Media Awards.
Other winners include CNN's Christiane Amanpour and Candy Crowley, Tina Fey of NBC's 30 Rock and SNL fame, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, and singer Dolly Parton (for the musical production of 9-5). The award ceremony takes place on June 17 in New York.
From the press release:
The Women's Media Center was founded in 2005 by Gloria Steinem, Jane Fonda and Robin Morgan. The WMC promotes women in the media in four ways: through our media advocacy initiatives, original media, top-notch media training program, and through SheSource.org, our online database of 500+ women experts, used by hundreds of journalists every day.
Congrats, Pam!
