9-YEAR-OLD NEWS REPORTER KNOWS HOW TO WORK THE BEAT.
My favorite story of the week could be that of young Hilde Lysiak, the junior publisher of a hometown website in Selinsgrove, Pa.
The website, Orange Street News, and related print version, is the 9-year-old's own local news outlet.
She first got attention last fall when Columbia Journalism Review gave her some ink, saying she "provides a public service in a town without a dedicated local news outlet."
Her stories have ranged from a missing cat to local vandalism.
You might have seen some more recent notice after she covered a local murder earlier this month.
When some criticized Hilde, and her mother for allowing her to work the crime beat rather than "play with dolls," she shot back:
Good for you Hilde, keep up the good work!
