Dorothy Thompson
Dorothy Celene Thompson (July 9, 1893 – January 30, 1961) was an American journalist and radio broadcaster. She was the first American journalist to be expelled from
Nazi Germany, in 1934, and was one of the few women news commentators broadcasting on radio during the 1930s. Thompson is regarded by some as the "First Lady of American Journalism" and was recognized by ''
Time'' magazine in 1939 as equal in influence to
Eleanor Roosevelt. Recordings of her NBC Radio commentary and analysis of the European situation and the start of
World War II (from August 23 to September 6, 1939) were selected by the
Library of Congress for preservation in the
National Recording Registry in 2023, based on their "cultural, historical or aesthetic importance in the nation’s recorded sound heritage."
