Harriet Van Home

Harriet Van Home

Harriet Van Home is an American journalist.

She is a syndicated columnist appearing in the "New York Post" and other newspapers around the country. In 1960 she covered the Nixon-Kennedy debates as a television critic for the Scripps-Howard newspaper chain. Her work landed her on the master list of Nixon political opponents.

Van Home had to deal with prevailing sexism against female journalists. Ray Erwin of "Editor & Publisher" described syndicated columnist Harriet Van Home as "a dainty, blue-eyed blonde with a sweet-voiced feminine manner-and a harpoon in her typewriter."
