My Take
What strikes me about Sally Quinn is her late-career pivot toward writing about faith for The Washington Post. Plenty of journalists chase scandal and access; choosing religion, a subject with no clean answers and endless room to offend, takes a particular kind of nerve. I read her as someone more interested in the difficult questions than the easy headlines. A Smith-educated Southern voice who built a long career on honesty rather than flash, she earns my respect for staying curious about the things most writers avoid.
