anymore.
on edit: You are really lucky to meet her. I have admired her for ages.
Ask her what the hell we're going to do to survive the next four years.
Also ask: What can we do to reinstate The Fairness Doctrine or does she think it's too late for journalism to redeem itself.

2. Is the media, as we define it, failing its responsibilities |

4. Ask what she thinks will reverse the erosion of journalism |
|
"The consolidation of media has marginalized the truth in general and journalism in particular. What do you see as a key for activists to reverse this trend?"

Ask her if she has ever considered cloning herself. We need an army of Helen Thomases!

7. Ask her how this WH keeps the media in check by denying access |

What keeps her going?
Where does she find hope?
Who can carry on after her?
Who she trusts?
