Dorothy Thompson (July 9, 1893 – January 30, 1961) was an American journalist and radio broadcaster.
In 1939 Thompson was recognized by Time magazine as the second most influential woman in America next to Eleanor Roosevelt. She is notable as the first American journalist to be expelled from Nazi Germany in 1934 and as one of the few women news commentators on radio during the 1930s. She is regarded fondly by some as the “First Lady of American Journalism.”
