By Maria Ward


Many people who played an important role in society had talents which were well suited for that particular era. A good example is a newspaper reporter, back in nineteenth century called Nellie Bly. Her works played a pivotal role in adjusting a number of public policies. In as much as she had received less formal education, this could not act as a barrier towards having a splendid career.

Bly wrote an article which saw her being employed as a columnist. She utilized this chance to develop professionally and sharpen her skills. On many occasions, she carried out field assignments on various categories. Some of them include fashion, entertainment and so on.

Bly left for Mexico to file reports concerning corruption and condition of the poor. This was done for about six months before coming back to the United States. This time round she landed a job at the New York world. Here, her first assignment got her committed to a lunatic asylum for women. This was carried out in a bid to gain an insight into how the women were being treated in such places.

The reports later on compiled were astonished many people. This attracted the attention of the jury thereby launching an investigation in the same subject. Results were soon out and it was confirmed that the institution needed funding to elevate the living conditions of patients. Funds were injected in the sector for its improvement.

Later on, she set off around the world, a journey that would take seventy two days. During this time, she visited a number of continents. Her writings got continental reportage and were delivered through efficient submarine networks and electric telegraphs. On her return, she was received with ten celebratory gunshots. This was carried out in two different parks in the city of New York.

Bly got married by a very rich steel company owner. His company took part in making milk cans and other steel products. After nine years, her husband passed on. Bly therefore, had to take part in running the company. Her efforts were also recognized as the company made various inventions. Due to continued embezzlement of funds, the company shut down. This led her into considering her reporting career again.
