　　Helen Thomas,the pioneering White House reporter known for putting presidents on the hot seat,died at 92.

　　To those who regularly watch presidential press conferences,Helen Thomas is a familiar figure.Usually dressed in red and always seated in the front row,she is always the first or second reporter the president calls upon.It is an honour she has earned.Besides,it affords her the perfect opportunity to do what she does best-challenge the president and other public officials to tell the plain truth.She said,"We reporters' priority(首要事情)is the people's right to know-without fear or favor.We are the people's servants."

　　Helen Thomas was born in Kentucky in 1920.All the nine Thomas children were brought up to value education,and all were expected to make something of themselves through working hard.She decided to become a reporter while in high school.After receiving her bachelor's degree in 1942,Thomas headed for Washington D.C.,looking for a newspaper job.Soon,she landed one at Washington Daily News.Her duty included fetching coffee and doughnuts for the paper's reporters and editors.This young woman found the atmosphere exciting,believing she had made the right career choice.

Her big break came when she was sent to Florida to report on the vacation of President John F.Kennedy and his family.Once President Kennedy took office,Thomas changed her focus from the president's family to his policies.She began attending the daily press briefings at the White House as well as presidential press conferences.Thomas has covered every president since Kennedy.Over
