WINGS Around the WorldThe Women's International News Gathering Serviceis broadcast on radio stations around the world. They used to say the women hold up half the sky, but that hasn't always been reflected in media. "When you remove the celebrities and the victims from mainstream media coverage there's very little left," says Frieda Werden, co-founder and producer of the Women's International News Gathering Service or WINGS. Now broadcast on over 150 community radio stations world-wide, WINGS was started at Western Public Radio in 1985 to provide a forum for discussion and reporting on issues facing women and to counter the lack of accurate reporting of the women's movement in the mainstream media.
In 2002 Werden moved from Austin, Texas to Vancouver, BC where she now works part-time at campus-community station CJSF 90.1FM in addition to her work with WINGS. She has been active with Amarc, the World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters, since 1986, serving on the international board of directors and as Vice-President for the North American region.
