1. muckrake

   Muckrake is a term primarily associated with reform-oriented journalists who wrote largely for popular magazines, continued a tradition of investigative journalism reporting, and emerged in the United States after 1900. These journalists primarily aimed at exposing corrupt social, political, or economic issues. It is essentially the act of exposing wrongdoings, corruption, or scandals, especially in public life. The term has its origins from the word "muckraker" introduced by President Theodore Roosevelt, derived from the character in John Bunyan's 17th-century novel "The Pilgrim's Progress".
