American Women in Radio and Television Awards - Founded in 1951, the feminist advocacy group, the American Women in Radio and Television was designed to better the salaries and power base of women in the media. In 1975, the group presented its first awards to those groups or individuals who represented a realistic positive portrayal of women on radio and television. A testimony to the groups possible influence might be Barbara Walters who was the first newscaster in history (man or woman) to receive an annual salary of one million dollars.
