The Shame of the Cities

The Shame of the Cities

The Shame of the Cities was a work published in 1904 by Lincoln Steffens that sought to expose public corruption in many major cities throughout the United States. The work consists of articles written for the magazine "McClure's" in one collection. His goal was to provoke public outcry and thus promote reform.

It is considered one of the first primary examples of muckraking journalism.
