Equal Access Public Media (EAPM) - Fiscally Sponsored by Alternative Newsweekly Foundation
Equal Access Public Media; A National Solution to Accessible News
Equal Access Public Media is a women-led national platform redefining success in journalism by making news and newsrooms accessible, elevating women as leaders and storytellers.
Outdated narratives define success and leadership through narrow, exclusionary norms, particularly in journalism. Recent labor data shows that women are leaving the workforce at disproportionate rates, often due to caregiving and inaccessible work structures. EAPM advances a national standards-based solution that makes news and newsrooms accessible while elevating disabled and caregiving women as leaders. Through accessible publishing and training, we reshape who is seen as credible at work, influencing workplace norms across journalism.
