I'm really curious what pushed her into journalism earlier in the other timeline, early enough that she's already earned a Pulitzer. I think the AU was meant to be more in the future than was immediately obvious--like ten years in the future or so. In which case, I don't think it's unlikely that Lois would have a Pulitzer by then. ;) As for what pushed her into journalism, I think there are many things that could have driven Lois there. In our reality she was introduced investigating Chloe's 'death' and if Chloe had turned out to be really dead I can see that leading her into wanting to write and expose the truth. I assume somewhere along the line she saw an injustice and went after it with usual Lois vigour. I think the barndoor was just chance and I'm really glad that wasn't her one and only trigger into journalism.
she might not have been the shining beacon of hope and morality that Clark was for him I don't know if I'm just down on Kara this week because of Laura's acting, but I really came out of 'Apocalypse' feeling that the writers wanted us to see that Kara was qualitatively different from Clark. She alone doesn't inspire Lex to seek redemption, and she is weaker than Clark, whether you put that down to her upbringing or something intrinsic about her. It intrigues me.
