520 _a"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 instituion 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 hte early 190s called 'muckraking,' dedicated to exposing social, political, and economic ills in the United States. In Nellie Bly and Investigative Journalism for Kids budding reports 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 unsanity 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."--Page [4] of cover.
