During the Progressive Era (1900-1915), muckrakers emerged as influential writers dedicated to exposing societal issues like unsafe housing, child labor, and racial discrimination. Through investigative journalism, they shed light on these problems, prompting national reform. Notable works, such as Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle," revealed shocking working conditions in meat-packing plants, catalyzing legislation like the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906. Muckrakers played a critical role in raising public awareness and pressuring the government to implement reforms for a healthier society.
