Profession: Reporter is a collection of the best writings by Elizabeth Jane Cochran (aka Nellie Bly), the founder of the investigative journalism genre and one of the first correspondents in history. You are waiting for adventures in the "tinder" of the late XIX century and harassment in the parks of New York, the investigation of the forced psychiatric treatment system, the description of the precarious work of packers in the factory, the exposure of fake hypnotists and the business of selling babies. She drew attention to injustice, the oppression of the weak, and the plight of women, and eventually achieved change in American society - for example, her text "Ten Days in a Lunatic Asylum" provoked the reform of psychiatric institutions. Contemporaries called her Lady Sensation for her ability to find outstanding stories, although sometimes it was enough for her to take a closer look at others or pretend to be someone who goes beyond the norm.

Published for the first time in Russian, Bly's investigations shed light to the origins of new journalism and show that many of the problems it discovered have not lost their relevance to this day.
