Mariana Eleanor Gosnell (October 28, 1932 – March 23, 2012)[1][2] was an artist, journalist, photographer, pilot and book author originally from Columbus, Ohio.[3][4]

Biography

Gosnell graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ohio Wesleyan University and also spent time at the Sorbonne in Paris.[1] She worked for Newsweek for twenty-five years, as medicine and science reporter[3] and editor,[1] additionally contributing to Smithsonian and National Wildlife.[4]

She died of cancer in March 2012.[1][3]

In July 2016, a New York Times journalist live-streamed the discovery of some slide photographs by the side of a New York City trash can, and in course discovered them to be Gosnell's original photographs.[5] The story was picked up by several online publications.[6][7][8]
