Women in Media South Australia founding members Samela Harris , Collette Snowden , Arna Eyers-White have stepped down from our committee after after more than a decade of brilliant events, networking and mentoring women in South Australia.

Samela Harris is a pioneering South Australian journalist, critic, and blogger. She was editor of Adelaide University's On Dit, the first ever non-social-pages journo at The News (1965), Australia's first female footy columnist (1995) and the inaugural digital editor at The Advertiser. Harris was inducted into the SA Journalists' Hall of Fame in 2025. She was the founding president of Women in Media SA.

Dr Collette Snowden is a Senior Lecturer in Public Relations at Adelaide University's School of Communication, Media, and Journalism. Her research focuses on the intersection of communication, society, and new technologies. Snowden transitions extensive industry experience into her academic work, having built a prior career as a working journalist, publicist, community activist, political media advisor, communication consultant and musician.

Arna Eyers-White is the Senior Academic Integrity Officer at Adelaide University. Eyers-White has strong ties to Adelaide's independent music and arts press. She began her editorial career with Adelaide University's student newspaper, On Dit and was publishing editor of Adelaide’s prominent fortnightly street press publication, dB Magazine, from 1991 to 2012. She is a former chair of the SA Youth Arts Board and founding member and chair of the SA Music Industry Association. She has been treasurer of the Women in Media SA Committee since it was founded in 2015.

The SA Women in Media committee would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to these three trailblazers and founding WiMSA members for their incredible contribution over the past decade, for their ongoing support and for laying such a strong foundation for the future 💜

According to research, women after 40 start disappearing from our screens.
Jean Smart, age 75, Allison Janney, age 66, Sally Field, age 79, Rhea Seehorn, age 54, and Linda Cardellini, age 51, all brought home some of the top Emmy awards this year helping to rewrite that narrative 🙌🙌

Women don’t become less talented, captivating or deserving as they age - whether on screen, in the office or at the boardroom table 💪💪💪
