After graduating from Vassar, she began her career as a secretary in the Paris Bureau of Newsweek magazine, rising to become a reporter and writer in New York. In 1970, she was one of 46 women who sued the magazine for sex discrimination, the first women in the media to sue. Five years later, she was appointed the first woman Senior Editor in Newsweek’s history.

A recipient of the Matrix Award for Magazines, Lynn serves on the Advisory Boards of the International Women's Media Foundation, the Women's Rights Division of Human Rights Watch and the CUNY Graduate Center Foundation Board. She is married to Stephen Shepard, who was Editor-in-Chief of Business Week magazine for 20 years, Founding Dean Emeritus and currently University Professor of the Graduate School of Journalism of the City University of New York.
