Nellie Bly Cub Reporter Award
The Nellie Bly Cub Reporter Award is a prize given by the New York Press Club to honor outstanding achievement in journalism by reporters with less than three years experience in the field.[1][2][3][4] It has been given annually since 1978.[1] Past recipients include Mina Kimes who won in 2009 for her story The End of Oil?[5] It was named after crusading journalist Nellie Bly, employed by Joseph Pulitzer in the 1890s who, according to one account, to get material for her stories, went to great lengths; for example, she "went underwater in a diving bell ... flew in a balloon ... was arrested ... posed as an invalid, a lunatic, and a beggar ... obtained jobs as a servant, a shop girl."[6]
