Preferred term

investigative journalism  

Definition

  • Investigative journalism grew out of the muckraking tradition established by Lincoln Steffens, Upton Sinclair, Samuel Hopkins Adams, Ida Tarbell, and others in the early 20th century. The muckrakers essentially created a new journalistic form, one that exposed social ills and government, personal, or corporate misbehavior.
