In chapter two of “The New Colossus,” written by Marshall Goldberg. Nellie Bly got an offer in the biggest newspaper called “The World” and she had a new assignment which was investigating Emma Lazarus’s death. Nellie Bly was a women journalist, who wrote about the Bellevue Hospital Asylum. Her story made an impact on the practice of journalism and made a change in the asylum. Her work was admired by Pulitzer, the owner of the World, in which she got a byline and got her involved in Emma Lazarus death since the police investigation was useless. Pulitzer claims that the police didn’t investigate in depth and collaborated with the doctors to close the case. With this in mind, it brings up a question if police investigations nowadays can be trusted.
