exposing corruption in business or government
In the shame of the cities, Lincoln Steffens argued that people needed to care about the common good even if they were doing well personally.
Care about the common good even if they were doing well personally
Journalists such as Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, known for their reporting on the Watergate scandal in the 1970s, and the team behind the Panama Papers investigation, who uncovered widespread corruption and tax evasion, are examples of individuals who have exposed corrupt business practices through investigative journalism. Their work has led to significant legal and political consequences for those involved.
There is evidence to suggest that Lincoln Steffens had a pragmatic view towards government corruption, believing it to be an inevitable part of political systems. While he did not condone corruption, he recognized its influence and impact on politics and society. His investigative journalism aimed to expose and challenge corrupt practices rather than simply accept them as a cost of doing business.
muckrakers were people who "exposed the mud" they wrote novels, articles, etc. to expose what some industries/businesses/politicians were really doing. ex: the jungle by Upton Sinclair exposed what meatpacking plants were doing with their meat.
