A Century of Muckraking: Investigating Corporations, Corruption, and Governmental Crooks
Overview
Description
This course will examine the impact, both positive and negative, of the muckraking trend in American journalism over the last century by considering work by journalists from Ida Tarbell to Michael Moore. In class discussions and short writing assignments, students will analyze primary documents by these journalists as well as legislation that resulted from their investigations. For students with two other upper level (3000- level or above, with ENG 3050 particularly recommended) English courses, this course may serve as the capstone for the Tier III requirement.
