âI didnât start publishing Pennsylvaniaâs Orange Street News so that people would think Iâm cute. I want to get the truth to people, even if it makes grownups mad,â says 9-year-old Hilde Kate Lysiak, publisher of and reporter for the Orange Street News.
After reporting on a suspected homicide in Selinsgrove, Pa., Hilde was harassed by âdisgustedâ adults commenting on her site, saying her time would be better spent at tea parties and playing with dolls.Â
Hilde has something to say, and she takes no prisoners, firing back at her aging critics, with a video and in her column for the Guardian.Â
