Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Films is producing the story of famed black journalist Ida Tarbell for broadcast on HBO, reports Variety.
"Ida Tarbell" will center on the muckraking reporter who exposed the unfair practices of John D. Rockefeller and his Standard Oil monopoly. Tarbell's work was a contributing factor in the government's eventual breakup of the company in 1911.
