Jenkins rose to prominence with Sports Illustrated in the 1990s before joining The Washington Post. Over her 20-plus years with WaPo, Jenkins wrote 12 books, four of which became New York Times bestsellers.Â
She wrote extensively about the late-great Pat Summitt and secured one of the final interviews with former Penn State head coach Joe Paterno prior to his death in 2012.
