Helen Thomas war eine US-amerikanische Journalistin, die am 4. August 1920 geboren wurde und am 20. Juli 2013 verstarb. Als Kind libanesischer Einwanderer wuchs sie in Detroit auf und studierte an der Wayne University, wo sie bereits für die Campuszeitung schrieb. Nach ihrem Abschluss arbeitete sie kurzzeitig für die Washington Daily News, bevor sie zur Nachrichtenagentur United Press wechselte. Dort stieg sie von einer Assistenzstelle zur Reporterin auf und berichtete über verschiedene Regierungsbehörden. Von 1959 bis 1960 war Thomas Präsidentin des Women’s National Press Club und reiste in die Sowjetunion. Fasziniert von John F. Kennedy, verfolgte sie dessen Wahlkampf und berichtete über seine Familie. Nach Kennedys Amtsantritt begleitete Thomas fortan alle US-Präsidenten als Reporterin. Sie wurde zur Korrespondentin im Weißen Haus und setzte die Tradition fort, Pressekonferenzen mit „Thank you, Mr. President“ zu beenden. Thomas etablierte sich als hartnäckige Fragerin und Vorreiterin für Frauen in den Medien. 1971 heiratete sie den Journalisten Douglas B. Cornell. Thomas begleitete die Präsidenten auch auf Auslandsreisen und erlangte während der Watergate-Affäre Aufmerksamkeit. 1974 wurde sie Chefkorrespondentin der UPI in Washington. Später übernahm sie die Präsidentschaft der White House Correspondents’ Association und wurde Mitglied des Gridiron Clubs. Nach Jahrzehnten als Journalistin trat Thomas im Jahr 2000 von ihrem Posten bei UPI zurück, nachdem diese von der Vereinigungskirche aufgekauft worden war. Kurz darauf kehrte sie als Kolumnistin für die Hearst Corporation zurück. Ihre kritische Haltung gegenüber George W. Bush führte zu Auseinandersetzungen und dazu, dass sie bei Pressekonferenzen übergangen wurde. 2010 sorgte Thomas mit umstrittenen Äußerungen zu Israel für Aufsehen, entschuldigte sich, ging in den Ruhestand und verteidigte ihre Aussagen später. Die Wayne State University stellte daraufhin die Vergabe des nach ihr benannten Preises ein. Vor ihrem Tod veröffentlichte Helen Thomas Kolumnen in der Falls Church News-Press.
Helen Thomas wurde in Winchester, Kentucky, USA, geboren.
