EWIP is pleased to announce that Kara Swisher is the sixteenth recipient of the annual Exceptional Woman In Publishing Award. The EWIP Award is given to a woman who has achieved a high standard of professional excellence, has made extraordinary contributions in publishing, and has demonstrated success and leadership in exceptional ways.
Ms. Swisher is an author and well-respected journalist, and along with Walt S. Mossberg, built the technology site and brand, now retired, AllThingsD.

Swisher’s hard-hitting insight and investigation of Silicon Valley’s leaders, their companies and products will continue to be influential.
