Association of Women in Business Journalism

The Association of Women in Business Journalism is a New York-based organization for non-male journalists covering business and finance. Not only are women a minority in US business journalism, making up just 45% of the beat, but we also cover heavily male-dominated industries. Women hold 10.4% of leadership positions at Fortune 500 companies. Only 15% of executives in the financial services sector are women. The list goes on. Our excellence is found through the navigation of these male-centric spaces. It's hard work — and it's time we make space to uplift each other in that hard work, too. We are a trans and non-gender conforming inclusive community. Reporters and editors of all mediums in any location are welcome to join, though we are currently only holding in-person meetings in New York and London. If all three apply, you are eligible for membership: 1. I am a journalist who interacts with sources during my day-to-day duties (non-sponsored content). 2. I cover business, finance, or tech from a non-scientific perspective (business doesn’t have to be your only beat, but it should make up a good amount of your reporting). 3. I do not currently identify as a cisgender man.
