The term "muckrakers" was coined by President Theodore Roosevelt in a speech in 1906. He used it to describe journalists and writers who exposed corruption and abuses in society, likening their work to "raking the muck" of society to bring these issues to light. The term stuck and became associated with investigative journalists who sought to uncover and reform societal problems.
