In 'The Lost World' by Arthur Conan Doyle, what is the name of the reporter?

In Arthur Conan Doyle’s *The Lost World*, the reporter is Edward Malone.

Malone is a young journalist employed by the *Daily Gazette*. Hoping to prove his courage to Gladys Hungerton, the woman he loves, he asks his editor for a dangerous assignment: investigating Professor Challenger’s controversial claims about living dinosaurs in South America.

Malone first approaches Challenger by pretending to be a serious scientific student, but the professor quickly exposes the deception and throws him out. Malone earns Challenger’s respect by refusing to press charges, and he is later chosen as the expedition’s journalist and narrator.

He travels with Challenger, the skeptical Professor Summerlee, and the adventurer Lord John Roxton. Malone’s first-person reporting gives readers the expedition’s view of the plateau, where the party encounters dinosaurs, pterosaurs, ape-men, and an isolated human society. Summerlee is the skeptical zoologist; Roxton is the hunter.
