Muckrakers were investigative journalists who exposed corruption in business or government, or examined serious societal issues. Several of the most well-known muckrakers worked for McClureâs Magazine, where they wrote exposÃ©s on large companies, meat slaughtering houses, and city governments. These prominent and influential reporters included Ida M. Tarbell, Lincoln Steffens, Upton Sinclair, and Ray Stannard Baker.
She became one of the most influential muckrakers of the Gilded Age, helping to usher in that age of political, economic and industrial reform known as the Progressive Era. âThey had never played fair,â Tarbell wrote of Standard Oil, âand that ruined their greatness for me.â. John D. Rockefeller Sr., c. 1875.
