§Grammar and usage
Usage: in the early 20th century, muckraking also had a positive sense, meaning brave journalism that exposed corruption, and journalists who did it were called muckrakers.
Usage में बीसवीं सदी की शुरुआत में muckraking का एक सकारात्मक अर्थ भी था, यानी भ्रष्टाचार को उजागर करने वाली साहसी पत्रकारिता, और ऐसे पत्रकारों को muckrakers कहा जाता था।
