Many
people
criticize
today's
newspapers
as
sensationalist,
satisfying
the
public's
abnormal
curiosity. But journalism a century ago
was just as notorious
(
臭名昭著
). Publishers at that
time
routinely
competed
with
each
other
for
wild
stories
that
could
draw
in
the
most
readers.
Meanwhile, it was
an ideal atmosphere for a courageous reporter like
Nellie Bly to spring into
fame.
Bly,
whose name was Elizabeth Corcoran, had to work to
make her way in the world. Different
from many women of the time, however,
she refused to let the working world scare her
away.
Her first big opportunity as a
reporter came in 1885 after she wrote an angry
letter denouncing
the
Pittsburgh
Dispatch
for
an
article
it
had
run
criticizing
women
forced
to
work
outside
the
home.
The interested and excited editor hired Bly for
her
the
situations
of
female
factory
workers.
Bly
cared
less
about
their
jobs
than
their
lives
after
work - their amusements, their
motivations, their fears and ambitions. She
produced an article
totally
different
from
what
other
reporters
of
the
time
were
writing:
personal,
thoughtful,
meaningful.
By
1887
Bly
had
a
job
with
the
New
York
World,
one
of
the
leader
papers
of
the
day.
She
quickly
became famous for undercover stories about women
in a mental hospital. Soon she had
investigated life as a maid, a chorus
girl, and even a street girl. In her best - known
brave deeds, in
1890, Bly beat the
famous
novel.
Traveling
by
steamship,
train,
even
ricksha,
Bly
reported
from
each
stop.
A
spellbound
nation hung on
every word. Only 25, Bly had become
internationally famous.
（

Bly's first
newspaper job was .
A. with the New York World
B. with the Pittsburgh

C. to interview

Verne. B. By competing
