Muckrakers, investigative journalists of the early 20th century, exposed corruption, social injustices, and corporate malfeasance, significantly influencing public opinion and government policy. Their revelations led to increased public awareness and demand for reform, prompting legislative changes such as the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act. By shining a light on issues like labor exploitation and political corruption, muckrakers encouraged a more active government role in regulating industries and protecting citizens' rights. Ultimately, their work helped lay the groundwork for the Progressive Era reforms in the United States.
