Lisa Ling: Globetrotting Journalist, ‘Thinking Man’s Sex Symbol’
by Eva Holland | 01.02.09 | 1:18 PM ET
One small step for Lisa Ling, and one giant leap for female journalists everywhere? Well, maybe not. But giant leap or not, Ling, who travels the world as an “Oprah” correspondent and as the host of the National Geographic Channel’s Explorer, has landed at No. 5 on the Daily Beast’s list of Thinking Man’s Sex Symbols.
Writes list author Touré: “Lisa Ling is sexy without even trying. Whether she’s striding up a mountain in front of National Geographic cameras searching for wild California cannabis or uncovering bride-burning in India, she’s that super-smart polymath who’s such a courageously crusading journalist that she doesn’t have to do anything to elicit admiration.”

That’s “For The Win,” to all you non-gamers out there, and yes, the revered publication is launching a games division, with downloadable titles that can be played on Macs, PCs, and some mobile devices. ‘Herod’ could be cool, but frankly, I’m holding out for “Sudoku Traveler: China.”
