CLEVELAND -- The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum has unveiled a memorial honoring a late reporter with the Plain Dealer in Cleveland who covered the famed institution.

The Plain Dealer (http://bit.ly/NEnalu) reports the bronze statue of rock reporter Jane Scott features her sitting on an oak bench, wearing her signature red eyeglasses and holding a reporter's notebook.

The statue by sculptor David Deming was unveiled in the hall's lower lobby Thursday surrounded by Scott's family and friends.

Scott retired from the Plain Dealer in 2002 after 50 years with the paper. She died in 2011 at age 92.

Scott's family also donated some of her belongings to the hall's library and archives, including 4,000 LP records and 300 notebooks.
