Our 2013 Vermont women's history program: "Vermont Women in Journalism"

The Vermont Historical Society partnered with the Vermont Commission on Women tol celebrate "Vermont Women in Journalism" as part of our annual event focused on women's history. A remarkable panel of women offer per spectives on the progress and challenges of women journalists in Vermont across all types of media and walks of life. 

Thanks to our sponsors KeyBank, Northfield Savings Bank, Clute Wealth Management, WCAX-TV, Vermont Commission on Women, Burlington Free Press, Vermont Association of Broadcasters, Vermont Public Television, Cabot Creamery, and co-sponsor Black River Design.
