Lysiak, Hilde

Hilde Lysiak describes her experiences moving to a small town in Pennsylvania when she was seven years old and starting a news service there because there was no local newspaper. At first, everyone likes her reports about community news, such as the seed exchange at the library and a fundraiser for the hospital. But when the stories get more challenging, including a local murder, she learns that not everyone is happy with what she's doing and she becomes a target of cyberbullies. Hilde describes how she learned to stand up for herself and take pride in her work as a journalist.
