Lewine was assigned to the White House in 1956 to cover the activities of first ladies and the Washington social scene. But in 1965 she became the AP’s first full-time female White House correspondent….
Lewine moved to the newly created Cable News Network — at age 60 — as an assignment producer and field producer.
“When President Reagan was shot, I walked over to CNN that day and asked to help,” Lewine said in a 2005 article in a newsletter for Time Warner, the parent company of CNN. “My claim to fame was, I found out what type of gun was used. They paid me $80 for my work.”
