NEW YORK — The 50th annual Gracie Awards Luncheon, an event held at Cipriani 42nd Street that honored individual achievement and outstanding programming by, for
and about women in local and student television, radio and digital platforms, is now a memory.
It was an event that concluded with veteran journalist Jane Pauley presenting a Lifetime Achievement Award to longtime friend and colleague Martha Teichner, a correspondent on CBS Sunday Morning.
The AWM Foundation (AWMF) event was hosted by Juju Chang, co-anchor of ABC News’ “Nightline.” Presenters included retired NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason, today with Audacy’s WFAN Radio; Medha Gandhi of iHeartMedia; CNN telejournalist Erica Hill; NBC News’ Vicky Nguyen; WKJY-FM in Nassau-Suffolk talent Jamie Morris; and ESPN’s Jess Sims.
AWM/F President Becky Brooks commented, “This 50th season of the Gracie Awards has been nothing short of extraordinary. From Beverly Hills to New York City, we celebrated the voices, stories, and achievements of women who shape our media landscape in powerful and profound ways. It has been an honor to spotlight both legends and rising talent, and to continue our mission of amplifying the contributions of women in media—now and for the next 50 years.”
