Wendy Alec, who founded GOD TV, was honored last month during the Global Media Summit (GMS) conference in Dallas, Texas.
Alec was one of three media professionals honored with the GMS Global Platinum Award during a gala on April 30.
"It is our desire to focus public attention on exceptional Christian men and women who influence our society through cultural, educational, technological, entertainment, news and informational achievements in media," said Suellen Roberts, President of the Christian Women in Media Association and one of the hosts of the GMS conference, in an announcement about the awards.
