Bitch Media

Bitch Media is a non-profit multimedia organization based in Portland, Oregon. It is best known for producing Bitch (magazine), a quarterly publication with the tagline A feminist response to pop culture. Founded in 1996 by Andi Zeisler and Lisa Jervis, Bitch Media has grown to encompass several podcasts, a fellowship for up-and-coming writers, and a community lending library.[1] The organization can be found online at bitchmedia.org, as well as on social media such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Though many of those who contribute are on staff at Bitch Media, the organization frequently features guest authors who write on topics ranging from My Little Pony to the racial politics of heavy metal music.[1]

On their website, Bitch Media states that their values reflect “the diverse politics and experiences of its staff and Board, values the individuality of its creators and audience, and encompasses many—and sometimes conflicting—points of view. That said, the organization and its programs are guided by core values that include community and activism; diversity; open communication, engagement, and mutual respect; that there is no one monolithic feminism; and conscious business practices.”.[2]

Bitch Media, a 501(c)3 non-profit, relies on member support from subscribers and donors to fund its efforts. One can become a member of the B-Hive by donating monthly to Bitch Media.[3] B-Hive members receive a print and/or digital subscription and various other benefits.[4]
