The town was founded by her father, Judge Michael Cochran. Elizabeth had fourteen siblings. Her father had ten children from his first marriage and five children from his second marriage to Elizabeth’s mother, Mary Jane Kennedy. Michael Cochran’s rise from mill worker to mill owner to judge meant his family lived very comfortably. Unfortunately, he died when Elizabeth was only six years old and his fortune was divided among his many children, leaving Elizabeth’s mother and her children with a small fraction of the wealth they once enjoyed. Elizabeth’s mother soon remarried, but quickly divorced her second husband because of abuse, and relocated the family to Pittsburgh. Elizabeth knew that she would need to support herself financially. At the age of 15, she enrolled in the State Normal School in Indiana, Pennsylvania, and an added an “e” to her last name to sound more distinguished. Her plan was to graduate and find a position as a teacher. However, after only a year and a half, Elizabeth ran out of money and could no longer afford the tuition.

    7.2 Competing Information in a Free Press Standard 7.2: Competing Information in a Free Press Give examples of how a free press can provide competing information and views about government and politics. (Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for History and Social Studies) [8.T7.2] A girl holds The Washington Post of Monday, July 21st 1969 stating 'The Eagle Has Landed Two Men Walk on the Moon', by Jack Weir, Public Domain FOCUS QUESTION: How Does a Free Press Provide Competing Information about Government and Politics? Standard 2 looks at how a free press provides information about government and politics to people, both historically and in today's digital age. In many countries around the world, the press is not free and people receive one side only of a story about a topic or issue—the side the government wants published. A free press, by contrast, presents topics so people get wide-ranging and informed perspectives from which they can make up their own minds about what candidates and policies to Building Democracy for All 1 support (explore the site AllSides to see how news is presented differently depending on the platform). Central to free press is the role of investigative journalism that involves the “systematic, in-depth, and original research and reporting,” often including the “unearthing of secrets” (Investigative Journalism: Defining the Craft, Global Investigative Journalism Network). Modules for this Standard Include: 1. INVESTIGATE: History of Newspapers, Then and Now MEDIA LITERACY CONNECTIONS: Examining the News from All Sides 2.

  • 5, Webisode 10
    Please note: Each segment in this Webisode has its own Teaching Guide The muckrakers had a good friend in Sam McClure. He founded McClure’s Magazine, which set a new standard for activist journalism and created a new field, investigative journalism. Most important, he hired the best writers he could find: Ida Tarbell, Lincoln Steffens, Jack London, Booth Tarkington, Rudyard Kipling, Stephen Crane, and Willa Cather. Ida Tarbell broke new ground not only in showing what a woman could do in a traditionally male occupation but also in setting a standard for scholarship, fairness, and integrity in the new field of investigative journalism. Her painstakingly researched The History of the Standard Oil Company detailed the illegal tactics used by John D. Rockefeller and led to the 1911 Supreme Court decision to break up the Standard Oil trust. Another female muckraker, Elizabeth Jane Cochrane, got her first job at a newspaper at age nineteen; by twenty-five, she was the most famous woman in the world, known as the daring round-the-world reporter Nellie Bly. Editor Sam McClure and energetic journalists exercised their First Amendment right and used the pen to expose the excesses of the Gilded Age. They gave birth to the field of investigative journalism. Teacher Directions 1. Ask students to predict. • From what you know about the last half of the nineteenth century, what problems might newspaper writers expose? 2. Allow time for student response. 3. Make sure students understand the following points in discussing the question. In the Gilded Age, industry boomed and large corporations grew.

  • Nellie Bly and Stunt Journalism: Undercover Exploration to Discover the Truth
    Nellie Bly and Stunt Journalism: Undercover Exploration to Discover the Truth Aparna Paul Senior Division Historical Paper Paper Length: 2,497 words 1 “I determined then and there that I would try by every means to make my mission of benefit to my suffering sisters.”1 “[On] the 22d of September I was asked by the World if I could have myself committed ​ ​ to one of the asylums for the insane in New York…[to write a] narrative of the treatment of the patients therein and the methods of management?” This was the proposal presented to Nellie Bly in 1887 as she worked at the New York World under Joseph Pulitzer.2 Bly, a reporter who never ​ ​ shied away from a challenge, accepted one of the first cases of stunt journalism in American media. With her revolutionary articles, Nellie Bly pioneered stunt journalism as a way to expose social injustice. Although she encountered criticism and sexism within her career and in her undercover explorations, Bly’s tactics influenced her contemporaries and inspired future stunt reporters to expose social issues in their own time. In the 1880s, many women journalists occupied a specific role: society reporter. Society reporting was content aimed at women and gossip-mongers; it was the “daily fare spiced with gossip about the rich and famous.”3 Female journalists were so restricted to this role that “many newspapers had only one woman on staff,”4 and the women were rarely allowed to explore other journalistic styles, instead “restricted to [pages]…designed to capitalize on department store advertising aimed at housewives.”5 Society reporting, also known as the women’s section, was considered little more than a gossip column, and “[there] was a sense that any self-respecting 1 Nellie Bly, Ten Days in a Mad-House, (New York City: Ian L.
