Howell entered journalism by working on her high school paper and then, as a journalism student, on ''The Daily Texan'', the student newspaper for The University of Texas at Austin. After graduation, Howell had difficulty finding a job other than on old-time women's pages and instead took a job at a local TV and radio station. Later, she was hired to work on the copy desk of the ''Corpus Christi Caller-Times'', before moving to the ''Minneapolis Star'' as a reporter, then city editor and assistant managing editor. She was hired at the ''St. Paul Pioneer Press'' as senior vice president and editor before becoming the Washington bureau chief and editor of Newhouse News Service from 1990 until 2005.〔http://wpcf.org/oralhistory/how.html〕 Howell served on the board of directors of the American Society of Newspaper Editors from 1992 to 1999 and on the ASNE Foundation Board from 2000 until her death.

On January 2, 2010, Howell died after being struck by a car while she was vacationing in New Zealand. She had stopped to take a photo near Blenheim, and may have looked the wrong way for other vehicles. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Deborah Howell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
