Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the muckraking journalism movement spurred by the publication of Ida Tarbell's 'History of The Standard Oil Company' in McClure's Magazine in the early years of the 20th century. The author dives into the writings of some of the most influential muckraking journalists, including Lincoln Steffens, Josiah Flynt, and Ray Stannard Baker, to understand their contributions in revealing corporate corruption, political graft, and labor exploitation. The book argues that the muckrakers' relentless pursuit of truth helped awaken the American public to these widespread problems and shaped vital progressive reforms during that era.
