'Muckrakers' serial story

Political corruption, corporate greed, sickness and death from tainted foods -- today's headlines may shock us, but in fact they echo the scandalous exposes of the past century. Then, as now, it was the news media who frequently brought the truth to light. Using the constitutional freedom of the press, journalists investigated, exposed, and urged reform. They gave voice to the concerns of citizens and shed light on the nation's faults. Join us in learning about these early "Muckrakers."
