Kim Lawson

Kim Lawson received the ACM's Jewell Ryan-White Award for Cultural Diversity in 2013, recognized for her work connected to CreaTV San Jose, one of the Bay Area's most active community media centers. CreaTV serves the San Jose community with public, educational, and government access programming, training, and production support, and Kim's work there contributed to the station's commitment to cultural representation and broader community participation in local media.

Her recognition reflected both what she contributed at CreaTV and the station's own standing as one of the field's more visible examples of community media as a genuinely inclusive civic resource.
