Palmer Communications Contest. Last year Huttner's writing won 10 honors, one of which went on to win first place in the “Best News Writing for the Internet” category from the National Federation of Press Women (IWPA's parent organization). “Jan Huttner brings expertise, ethics and enthusiasm to all her writing projects,” explains IWPA Contest Chair Pat Szpekowski. A go-to source for information on women filmmakers, Huttner has spoken out widely against the “celluloid ceiling” that keeps women screenwriters, directors and other behind-the-scenes professionals from having the same opportunities as their male colleagues. “To use the words of Professor Martha Lauzen,” says Huttner, “If we change media messages, we change the world!” (PRWeb Jun 20, 2006)
