“Throughout this important year, we have enjoyed some of the most compelling content in our history. We were informed, enlightened and entertained by women in media across all platforms,” said Heather Cohen, Chair, Alliance for Women in Media Foundation. Becky Brooks, President, Alliance for Women in Media Foundation, remarked, “As we celebrate AWM’s 70th anniversary, we are thrilled to honor this incredible group of women who have demonstrated their commitment to sharing emotionally-charged, timely and compelling content.

The Gracies recognize exemplary programming created by, for and about women in radio, television, cable and interactive media.

In lieu of the Gracie Awards Luncheon, which will no longer take place in person on June 26 in New York City, local and student award winners will be recognized virtually. An alternate in-person celebration is currently being evaluated. The complete list of 2021 Gracie Award winners is posted at allwomeninmedia.org.
