Women are changing the landscape of communications. From recreating the way we consume news and producing innovative formats of content, to using the power of new media to address some of the greatest challenges of our time, women are redefining all aspects of communications: marketing, journalism, advertising, broadcast, public relations and social good.
The honorees of the second annual WiCi Awards are some of the women who are pioneering those efforts. Hosted by New York Women in Communications, the awards celebrate the achievements of the communications industry's rising stars.
Here are this year's honorees, who will receive their awards on Oct. 28 in New York City:
