Norah Winters is a fictional supporting character in Spider-Man comic books published by Marvel Comics. She first appeared in the The Amazing Spider-Man #575.
Norah Winters is a young reporter who just started out at the Daily Bugle. Her first assignment was with Peter Parker. She was often flirtatious with Peter Parker while they worked together.
Norah and Peter had numerous assignments together, one of them was to expose Norman Osborn as the villain he was during his reign of power in the events of Dark Reign. During this assignment she flirted with a male receptionist at Norman Osborn's headquarters so that Peter could sneak inside Norman's building. Norah was set on exposing Osborn, and did everything in her power to do so. She eventually succeeded. After the events of the Siege on Asgard, Norman Osborn was put to jail. Norah wrote about this and even interviewed Norman Osborn.
Although there was definitely a connection between Norah and Peter, nothing came out of it since she began dating Randy Robertson, son of the Daily Bugle's editor Robbie Robertson.
Norah was reporting on a crime scene at a wedding that left 29 people dead. Due to her reporting she eventually met the vigilante known as the Punisher. He was killing the criminals who had killed the 29 wedding guests. Norah even helped the Punisher when he was wounded after a fight. She took the Punisher in her car as he directed her to his secret hide-out. Norah now knew the Punisher's whereabouts and she struggled with this knowledge. She asked fellow reporter Ben Urich whether or not she should write an article on her adventure and inform the audience of the Punisher's hide-out. Ben told her that he himself once dealt with this choice (knowing Daredevil's real identity, but refused to write about it) and told Norah that she should only do this if it was for the benefit of the people, not just for her own well being.
