Original sentence: A muckraker is a journalist, author or filmmaker who investigates and exposes societal issues such as political corruption, corporate crime, child labor, conditions in slums and prison, unsanitary conditions in food processing plants, fraudulent claims by manufacturers of patent medicines and similar topics.An example of a contemporary muckraker book is Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed and one of the more well known from the early period is The Jungle, which, respectively, led to reforms in automotive manufacturing and meat packing in the United States.In the early 1900s, muckrakers shed light such issues in both the public and private sectors by writing books and articles for popular magazines such as Cosmopolitan, The Independent, and McClure's.Popular muckraking magazines from that period included McClure's, Munsey's Magazine, and American Magazine.Some of the most famous of the early muckrakers are Ida Tarbell The History of the Standard Oil Company, Lincoln Steffens, and Ray Stannard Baker.The term muckraker is most usually associated with a group of American investigative reporters, novelists and critics from the late 1800s to early 1900s, but is also used to describe contemporary persons who follow in the tradition of those from that period
