Journalism 1897-1922 (The Archive of American Journalism Book 3)

Lincoln Steffens

0/5 ( ratings)

The muckraker Lincoln Steffens dug deep into business criminality and political corruption in a powerful series of articles written for McClure's magazine. Establishment newspapers and System politicians derided him, and dismissed his work as just another example of the decrepit modern journalism that could never pass for genuine writing. Nor did Steffens get much respect from the other side; his naiveté angered Socialists, as did the absurd idea that the Golden Rule and the tenets of Christianity, and the noble ideals of the founding fathers, had anything to do with business, or labor, or American government, or any other serious matter. But Steffens' dogged quest for truth and justice set the bar high for investigative journalists in print, television and the Internet who follow in his footsteps. This new collection from The Archive offers Steffens' 16 major McClure's articles, including amazingly detailed and dramatic pieces on the civic troubles in Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Ohio, and New York. Articles are complete and unabridged; this first edition also includes Steffens' articles on the Mexican Revolution, the turmoil in Russia, and the Klondike gold rush.
