A muckraker is a journalist or writer who seeks to expose corruption, misconduct, or social injustices, often focusing on issues in politics, business, or society. The term originated in the early 20th century during the Progressive Era, when writers like Upton Sinclair and Ida B. Wells highlighted societal problems to spur reform. Muckrakers play a crucial role in investigative journalism by shedding light on issues that may be overlooked or suppressed.
