The Poynter Institute recently hosted an event celebrating the publication of The Edge of Change: Women in the Twenty-First-Century Press, edited by June O. Nicholson, Pamela J. Creedon, Wanda S. Lloyd, and Pamela J. Johnson.

The book’s 30+ contributors—which include leading newspaper journalists, editors, and executives—highlight the unprecedented influence American women have had on the news industry and look ahead to the future for women in news.
