ONA’s 2017 Women’s Leadership Accelerator is a weeklong forum aimed squarely at developing strong leadership skills for women working in digital journalism. The Accelerator, to be held Feb. 5-10, 2017, at the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, is open to 25 promising women leaders who are pushing innovation in their organization. 

Kara Swisher, Liz Heron, Charo Henriquez-Scaia, Jennifer Brandel and more women leaders will be speaking and mentoring throughout the week. Participants will leave with strong skills and a built-in support system for the future. The tuition-free program  is open to practitioners working in digital media, including freelancers, entrepreneurs and independent journalists. Applications are due Nov. 15. 

Webb Media Group has created a public database of all tech incubators, accelerators and labs who are currently working with startups. The list includes only programs that have invested or welcomed new startup classes in the past 12 months and that the list will be updated “frequently.” Webb Media Group is led by Amy Webb, presenter of the infamous Ten Tech Trends for 2012  session at ONA12 and outgoing ONA Board Member.
