WINGS: Women's International News Gathering Service
"Raising Women's Voices Through Radio Worldwide"
What WINGS Is . . .
"WINGS is at different times horrifying, exciting, funny, eye-opening and
definitely inspirational." --Nikki Reece, programme producer, Plains FM, Christchurch,
New Zealand
WINGS: Women's International News Gathering Service is an all-woman independent
radio production company that produces and distributes news and current affairs
programs by and about women around the world. WINGS programs are used by non-commercial
radio stations, women's studies, and individuals. Programs can be heard on
local radio stations, on shortwave, on the internet, and on cassettes. The
WINGS Mailing List provides updates on stories and new information about women's
media.
"Though I have been involved in women's issues for years, I was still struck
by the contrast of your broadcast to the news we are usually hearing -- news
reflecting male interests in a basically male world. Women's affairs are a
hidden current in the flow of world events."-- Kristin Reilly, listener, Buffalo,
New York
