The Newswomen's Club of New York is a nonprofit organization that focuses on women working in the media in the New York City metropolitan area. It was founded in 1922 as the New York Newspaper Woman’s Club[1] and included such well-known individuals as Eleanor Roosevelt, Helen Rogers Reid and Anne O'Hare McCormick among its membership; it changed its name in 1971[1] to include members working in magazines and broadcast media.[2] The organization presents its Front Page Award annually to honor the most prominent achievements by women in journalism.[3]
