Hilde Kate Lysiak is the publisher of the monthly newspaper Orange Street News, based out of Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania.
Hilde recently received widespread acclaim for her reporting of community news and her response to critics questioning her ability to cover serious news because of her age and gender. Hilde has held the distinction of being named America’s most ambitious journalist and one of the top stories of 2015 by NBC TODAY. Hilde began her journalism career at an early age, following her father, journalist Matthew Lysiak, around the country as he reported on breaking news for the New York Daily News.
Hilde’s monthly newspaper, The Orange Street News, has over five hundred subscribers, a circulation of five hundred and is read by hundreds of thousands more on her website.Hilde’s journalism efforts have been profiled in the New York Times, Columbia Journalism Review, The New York Daily News, NBC TODAY, LeanIn, Mighty Girl, TIME for Kids, and hundreds of other newspaper and television stations around the world.
When Hilde isn’t on her bike chasing breaking news, she likes to act, watch reruns of Law and Order, and listen to Taylor Swift. Hilde aspires to write a book and one day own a publication that is “bigger than the New York Daily News.”
