The Newseum in DC, now closed, had a wonderful film about Nellie Bly's life of investigative reporting. Her story has really stuck with me over the years. Thank you for lifting her up in these wonderful 250 to 250 tributes!
Wonderful story about Nellie Bly. "Best reporter in America." Was there any doubt?
