About the episode
In 1887, two years after Elizabeth Cochran, a native of Cochrans Mills in Burrell Township, launched her career with a response to an angry, chauvinistic editorial that appeared in the Pittsburgh newspapers, and two years before she raced around the world in 72 days, “Nellie Bly” stormed in the offices of the New York World and pulled off one of the most courageous feats in the history of investigative journalism. In this episode of the Pittsburgh Oddcast, we explore the differences between Miss Elizabeth Cochran and her alter-ego, Nellie Bly. We dive deep into her many interesting achievements and stories beyond her most famous tales. See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.
