About The Alliance for Women in Media
The Alliance for Women in Media was formed in 1951, originally as American Women in Radio and Television, the women’s division of the National Association of Broadcasters.
In 1960 the AWM (then AWRT) became the first professional broadcasting organization to establish an educational foundation.
In 1975 we began an annual award program recognizing the people in the media that represents the changing roles, issues, and concerns of women.
In 1997 those awards became The Gracies, named after Gracie Allen, a media pioneer who embodied the character of the awards.
To better reflect our commitment to all women in the media, in 2010 the organization renamed itself the Alliance for Women in Media.
