NEED LOGO FOR NEW WOMEN'S MEDIA AND COMMUNITY SITE

Podium Post

We are creating a media aggregator that amplifies women’s voices by providing a one-stop shop for smart news and connections for women. Using a Huffington Post model we plan to collect existing quality content that is currently fragmented across cyberspace (feminist blogs, not for profit organizations, campus dailies, female news writers, etc) and package them in an appealing format. We will also produce unique content such as video interviews of high profile women, contributions from female thought leaders, and partnerships with intl women’s groups. We will feature women owned businesses and link to their sites. Lastly, we will create a powerful community and robust advertising vehicle that will direct a portion of profits back to organizations that promote girls education and women in untraditional careers.
