Lewine's work ethic and love of journalism are great qualities to admire. I am not as aware of her career as I should be. I'm more aware of Helen Thomas, the long serving White House correspondent, who has also blazed a trail for women journalists who ask no-nonsense questions and are dedicated to the craft of journalism. We need more of their kind imo.
