Muckraking journalism in magazines around the start of the twentieth century drew attention to issues such as corrupt business practices, unsafe working conditions, and political corruption. It led to significant reforms such as the creation of antitrust laws, government oversight of food and drugs, direct election of U.S. senators, and progressive income tax. However, it did not result in a drop in attention paid to the plight of immigrants in big cities; in fact, it helped bring attention to their struggles and led to some reforms to improve their living conditions.
