Foreign five years, from August 2006, Lewis ran a networking scheme, open to all young journalists, called Schmooze and Booze, for which she organised events held in a Central London public every other month.
Lewis commented in 2007 that older colleagues, who had worked with each other for quite a long time, all seemed to know each other, while her contemporaries did not. Lewis was appointed as Deputy Editor of the New Statesman in May 2012, after becoming Assistant Editor in 2010.
Lewis first made the observation on Twitter on 9 August 2012, and it was quoted afterwards in Wired United Kingdom as part of a piece on the Donglegate incident, in which an engineer and a self-styled "developer evangelist" were fired after the latter accused two engineers sitting behind her of making sexual jokes at PyCon 2013.
