Описание: In 1889, New York reporter Nellie Bly--inspired by Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days--began a circumnavigation she hoped to complete in less time. Her trip was sponsored by her employer, The World. Just hours after her ship set out across the Atlantic, another New York publication put writer Elizabeth Bisland on a westbound train. Bisland was headed around the world in the opposite direction, thinking she could beat Bly's time. Only one woman could win the race, but both completed their journeys in record time.

In the late 1800s, the daring young reporter Elizabeth Cochrane--known by the pen name Nellie Bly--faked insanity so she could be committed to a mental institution and secretly report on the awful conditions there. This and other highly publicized investigative "stunts" laid the groundwork for a new kind of journalism in the early 1900s, called "muckraking," dedicated to exposing social, political, and economic ills in the United States. In Nellie Bly and InvestigativeJournalism for Kids budding reporters learn about the major figures of the muckraking era: the bold and audacious Bly, one of the most famous women in the world in her day; social reformer and photojournalist Jacob Riis; monopoly buster Ida Tarbell; antilynching crusader Ida B. Wells; and Upton Sinclair, whose classic book The Jungle created a public outcry over the dangerous and unsanitary conditions of the early meatpacking industry. Young readers will also learn about more contemporary reporters, from Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein to Amy Goodman, who have carried on the muckraking tradition, and will get excited about the ever-changing world of journalism and the power of purposeful writing. Twenty-one creative activities encourage and engage a future generation of muckrakers. Kids can make and keep a reporter's notebook; write a letter to the editor; craft a "great ideas" box; create a Jacob Riis-style photo essay; and much more.

Описание: Nellie Bly was the pen name of Elizabeth Cochran Seaman (1864-1922), an American journalist who was widely known for her record-breaking trip around the world in 72 days and for her undercover work to report on a mental institution from within. A pioneer in her field, she launched a new kind of investigative journalism, and was also a writer, inventor and industrialist. She entered on her career in journalism when a letter she wrote to the Pittsburgh Dispatch caught the editor's eye and he soon offered her a regular column to be written under the name of Nellie Bly. Her early work included a series of investigative articles on women factory workers but when the paper received complaints from factory owners she was reassigned to the women's pages to cover topics like fashion and society with which she soon became disenchanted. In 1885, aged only 21, she travelled to Mexico to serve as foreign correspondent, spending half a year reporting on the lives and customs of the people, and her dispatches were later published in book form as Six Months in Mexico (1888). In 1887 she left the Pittsburgh Dispatch and headed for New York where she took on an undercover assignment for Joseph Pulitzer's New York World, agreeing to feign insanity in order to gain entry into the Women's Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell's Island and investigate reports of brutality and neglect. The results of her investigation first appeared as a series of articles which later the same year were published in book form bringing her critical acclaim and also leading to a grand jury investigation which brought about an increase in budget for the Dept of Public Charities and Corrections.
