Remembering a Queen of Investigative Journalism
An open house, with cake, in honor of Ida Tarbell's birthday.
Over the lunch hour today, students at Pennsylvania’s Allegheny College newspaper The Campus are holding an open house in honor of a trailblazing female journalist: Ida Tarbell. She was born on this date in 1857.
The student newspaper was founded in 1876. Tarbell was one of the first editors and also managed that year a most notable feat. From a recent write-up in the Meadville Tribune:
The only woman to matriculate at Allegheny College in 1876 and graduate in 1880, Tarbell set a standard for investigative reporting that journalists today continue to hold high.
