International Women's Day Community Media Festival RecordsAn Inventory of the Collection
Administrative HistoryThe International Women's Day Community Media Festival was started by Austin women committed to amplifying women's voices in the media. The first Festival was held in 1996 when members of the Women's Collective of KO.OP Radio and Women's Access to Electronic Resources (WATER) founder, Deborah Hill came up with the idea of collaboration to present women's media programming. The aim was to increase the number of progressive media representations of women, as well as to bring more women into the production process. The Festival was held in conjunction with International Women's Day on March 8th and featured 24 hours of radio, television, and internet programming by women, about issues of interest to women. Each Festival also provided training workshops in media arts for women in the months preceding the festival. In 2001 the organization was renamed the Austin Women's International Media (WIM) Network to reflect their commitment to providing ongoing year-round programs and resources to promote women's participation in independent media.
