What is "muckraking"?
Muckraking refers to investigative journalism that seeks to expose corruption, wrongdoing, or unethical practices, particularly in politics, business, or society. Journalists who engage in muckraking typically dig deep into issues that are hidden or ignored by those in power, uncovering facts that may lead to reform or public awareness. Muckraking often involves extensive research, interviews, and the examination of documents, and its goal is to hold powerful individuals or organizations accountable for their actions. While muckraking can bring attention to important issues, it can also be controversial due to the nature of its findings.
