  • hook checks out and is sourced, article is well sourced and hook is interesting, could consider an alternate hook about being the first female political report for a british newspaper would also be fine and a bit shorter Gnangarra 05:52, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

  • ALT1: ... that British journalist Nora Beloff, a correspondent for The Observer for over three decades, came to prominence with her report on the torture of two women rebels during the Algerian War? Yoninah (talk) 21:41, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Thanks Yoninah. ALT1 is indeed interesting but I feel that the original may be more "hooky". 97198 (talk) 03:26, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
