On March 23, Multichannel News again honored an exceptional group of 15 women executives in Media and Entertainment at the annual Wonder Women of New York luncheon at the Ziegfeld Ballroom in New York City.
The Wonder Women awards, a key fixture on the media calendar since 1999, honor excellence among women leaders in media businesses including programming and operations, streaming, marketing, advertising and technology. Once again, MCN’s partner for the luncheon event is the New York chapter of the WICT Network.
