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.
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: NATIONAL BESTSELLER On November 14, 1889, Nellie Bly, the crusading young female reporter for Joseph Pulitzer's "World" newspaper, left New York City by steamship on a quest to break the record for the fastest trip around the world. Also departing from New York that day--and heading in the opposite direction by train--was a young journalist from "The Cosmopolitan" magazine, Elizabeth Bisland. Each woman was determined to outdo Jules Verne's fictional hero Phileas Fogg and circle the globe in less than eighty days. The dramatic race that ensued would span twenty-eight thousand miles, captivate the nation, and change both competitors' lives forever. The two women were a study in contrasts. Nellie Bly was a scrappy, hard-driving, ambitious reporter from Pennsylvania coal country who sought out the most sensational news stories, often going undercover to expose social injustice. Genteel and elegant, Elizabeth Bisland had been born into an aristocratic Southern family, preferred novels and poetry to newspapers, and was widely referred to as the most beautiful woman in metropolitan journalism. Both women, though, were talented writers who had carved out successful careers in the hypercompetitive, male-dominated world of big-city newspapers. "Eighty Days" brings these trailblazing women to life as they race against time and each other, unaided and alone, ever aware that the slightest delay could mean the difference between victory and defeat. A vivid real-life re-creation of the race and its aftermath, from its frenzied start to the nail-biting dash at its finish, "Eighty Days" is history with the heart of a great adventure novel. Here's the journey that takes us behind the walls of Jules Verne's Amiens estate, into the back alleys of Hong Kong, onto the grounds of a Ceylon tea plantation, through storm-tossed ocean crossings and mountains blocked by snowdrifts twenty feet deep, and to many more unexpected and exotic locales from London to Yokohama. Along the way, we are treated to fascinating glimpses of everyday life in the late nineteenth century--an era of unprecedented technological advances, newly remade in the image of the steamship, the railroad, and the telegraph. For Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland--two women ahead of their time in every sense of the word--were not only racing around the world. They were also racing through the very heart of the Victorian age. Look for special features inside. Join the Random House Reader's Circle for author chats and more.
