Look here for my my recent work, about the history Jewish fashion designers from Levi Strauss to Isaac Mizrahi. Or here for a U.S. News & World Report on the powerful businesswomen running for high political office this year, Or here for a profile of the Brookings Institution guard who foiled a Nixon burglary. You can also read my obituary of Ronald Reagan. Or of Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia, the longest serving senator ever. Or my coverage of the memorial to a Georgetown socialite who had a hidden past as the first female CIA agent. More recently, I covered the Women Airforce Service Pilots, those pioneering female pilots from WW2 who are finally getting the Congressional Gold Medal nearly 66 years after their service.
Places & Events
Take a look at how I covered the National Portrait Gallery when it reopened, the unveiling of the World War II Museum, or the 80th Annual Scripps National Spelling Bee.

"This book, written by one of the country's most experienced and thoughtful foreign policy journalists, exploded the myth that CNN and other news media have revolutionized the practice of diplomacy. Unlike much of the crystal-ball gazing concerning new information technologies, Johanna Neuman's work is grounded in the careful study of history, where she finds that in previous technology revolutions, both diplomats and journalists have learned to get past the hype and adjust to new ways of doing business. The book should be required reading for anyone concerned with technology and foreign affairs, whether as practitioners, journalists or citizens."
-- Frank Fukuyama, author of The End of History and the Last Man
