Orange Street News Update


Hilde Kate Lysiak (/ˈliːʃæk/ LEE-shak; born November 2, 2006) is an American journalist who publishes the Orange Street News, a local newspaper in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania from 2014 to 2019 and in Patagonia, Arizona since moving there in 2019. She is the youngest member of the Society of Professional Journalists.

On May 10, 2019, Lysiak became the youngest person in U.S. history to deliver a commencement speech when she addressed the graduating class at West Virginia University's Reed College of Media.


A speech which can be seen and heard here, at least in part:

A sidelight on the "six questions". In Roman rhetoric, one part is inventio. Whoever is holding a speech needs to have some basis in real or apparent fact. And a speech started with 1) captation of benevolence and 2) narration.

Which would include things like : "quis? quid? ubi? quibus auxiliis? cur? quomodo? quando?" as cited in a famous Asterix.

Full list : 1 who? 2 [did] what? 3 where? 4 by what means? 5 why? 6 how? 7 when?

Reducing it to six would presumably mean conflating "how" and "by what means". But the thing about journalism is, you are there to prevent a rhetor to twist his speech overmuch by lying about one of the six or seven questions or about more than one.
