Computer wizard Danny Hillis first dreamed up the idea of a massive timepiece that "ticks once a year. The century hand advances once every 100 years and the cuckoo comes out on the millennium." Cultural explorer Stewart Brand helped organize the foundation — named by musician Brian Eno — that oversees the design and construction. Benefactors include Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who has handed over $42 million to the project.

  • 10-Year Review of Gender and EMMY Nominations
    INVESTIGATION: 10-YEAR REVIEW OF GENDER & EMMY NOMINATIONS womensmediacenter.com WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER ABOUT THE WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER In 2005, Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan and Gloria Steinem founded the Women’s Media Center (WMC), a progressive, nonpartisan, nonpro!t organization endeavoring to raise the visibility, viability and decision-mak- ing power of women and girls in media and, thereby, ensuring that their stories get told and their voices are heard. To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of intercon- nected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a culture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences and images are neither suf!ciently ampli!ed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spot- light gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment !lm and television, social media and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual “The Status of Women in the U.S. Media” report. Our WMC Women Under Siege project investigates sexualized violence. Our original content channels — WMC Features, WMC FBomb, WMC Speech Project and the “Women’s Media Center Live with Robin Morgan” radio program — provide women’s perspectives on both headline stories and timely events that are ignored, not wholly captured or misrepresented in the mainstream media.

    INVESTIGATION: 10-YEAR REVIEW OF GENDER & EMMY NOMINATIONS womensmediacenter.com WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER ABOUT THE WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER In 2005, Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan and Gloria Steinem founded the Women’s Media Center (WMC), a progressive, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization endeavoring to raise the visibility, viability and decision-mak- ing power of women and girls in media and, thereby, ensuring that their stories get told and their voices are heard. To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of intercon- nected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a culture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences and images are neither sufficiently amplified nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spot- light gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment film and television, social media and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual “The Status of Women in the U.S. Media” report. Our WMC Women Under Siege project investigates sexualized violence. Our original content channels — WMC Features, WMC FBomb, WMC Speech Project and the “Women’s Media Center Live with Robin Morgan” radio program — provide women’s perspectives on both headline stories and timely events that are ignored, not wholly captured or misrepresented in the mainstream media.
