muckraking
A term coined for a type of investigative journalism practiced in the Progressive Era (1890s to 1920s) in which the journalists often became immersed in the story, sometimes living as or with their subjects to report the story. The most famous among the muckraking journalists are Ida B. Wells, Ida Tarbell, Upton Sinclair, and Jacob Riis.
Today, the term is used for deep investigative reporting.
