Undercover: Reporting For The New York World 1887 - 1894

Nellie Bly's insanity disguise got her committed to the notorious Blackwell's Island asylum, a dangerous venture that resulted in the most shocking newspaper expose the jaded citizens of New York had ever read. But with "Ten Days in a Madhouse," Bly was only getting started. With a series of clever disguises, the wiley and streetwise reporter was welcomed into underground gambling houses, illicit adoption agencies and creepy mesmerists' parlors, all in the service of sensational headlines and the steadily rising circulation numbers boasted by her employer, The New York World. This fascinating collection of original, unabridged articles--reproduced in book form for the first time since their original publication--traces Bly's brief yet astounding career as an undercover journalist. 9780990713722 0990713725 312 BOOK Investigative reporting NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=eybLoQEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
