Presentation transcript:

 The dictionary meaning for the term “muckraker” is: To search for and expose real or alleged corruption, scandal, or the like, especially in politics.

 In the early 1900’s many European immigrants moved to America because of industrialization jobs.  But the pay to these employees were low and the working conditions were unliveable while the owners were very wealthy.  Seeing this injustice magazine writers wrote about this and discovered many corrupt businesses

 These writers were disliked by many political and business men  The President at this time Theodore Roosevelt, Invented the term “Muckrakers for his dislike for the journalists but it can be considered a insult or complement

 Muckraker Upton Sinclair. He was famous for exposing meat packing houses in Chicago.  Charles E. Russell on the beef trust,  Thomas Lawson on Amalgamated Copper.  Burton J. Hendrick on life insurance companies  Other include Lincon Steffers, Ida Tarbell, David G. Phillip, Ray R. Baker,and samuel H. Hopkins. Samuel Hopkins Ida Tarbell

 John D. Rockefeller: his illegal business deals had him targeted by Muckrakers  Labour Unions: These were very, very corrupt and were exposed  Jack warner and Muhmammed bin hammam John Rockerfeller

 People might see an impurity and corruption in business and other industries. They may tell it to one person but that one person may not believe them so they will find a popular magazine to write an article so everyone can hear and some may support him/her.

 Muckraking was very popular in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s  Now the term muckraking may not be used as much here are some recent examples of muckraking  FIFA bribing scandal Jack warner and Muhammed bin hammam Jack Warner

 People who muckrake may expose impurities o the world may be a hero but to some, a villain  Most muckrakers are famous and die of old age  But others arnt so lucky before they even report the corrupt thing they are bribed out of doing it or worse, killed.

 I believe that muckraking is a very good thing because it can show how horrible working conditions are and how corrupt bussines/companies are.  Even though some die they die famous and the give others back what is rightfully theirs.

 Muckraking happens the most in New York because that is where it first started and there are allot of business in new York and some of them are corrupt New York City
