The American News Women's Club (ANWC), formerly the Newspaper Women's Club, was founded on April 4, 1932, by Margaret Hart Canby of The Evening Star and Katharine H. Brooks of The Washington Post. The women created an elite news club based in Washington D.C. exclusively for female newspaper writers and reporters, breaking away from the Women's National Press Club, which included non-reporters and publicity. The Club also admitted a limited number of prominent women who had been helpful to women reporters gathering news.
Today, the ANWC embraces a diverse and inclusive group of journalists, authors and professional communicators representing newspapers, radio and television stations, publishing companies, web sites, public relations firms, corporations, academic institutions and government which reflects an evolving news.
The American News Women's Club was named a historic site in journalism by the National Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) on October 16, 2002.
