Care about the common good even if they were doing well personally
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.

For the past 125 years, there have been a number of journalists who exposed corrupt business practices. Among the journalists who made a name for themselves doing this work were the "Muckrakers," who wrote around the turn of the last century (1900-1910). They included Ida Tarbell, Lincoln Steffens, and Upton Sinclair. Their investigative books and essays about corporate greed and corruption and unsafe working conditions changed the society of that time.
