Overview

A fascinating history of the rise and fall of influential Gilded Age magazine McClureā€™s and the two unlikely outsiders at its helmā€”as well as a timely, full-throated defense of investigative journalism in America

The president of the United States made headlines around the world when he publicly attacked the press, denouncing reporters who threatened his reputation as ā€œmuckrakersā€ and ā€œforces for evil.ā€ The year was 1906, the president was Theodore Rooseveltā€”and the publication that provoked his fury wasĀ McClureā€™sĀ magazine.

One of the most influential magazines in American history,Ā McClureā€™sĀ drew over 400,000 readers and published the groundbreaking stories that defined the Gilded Age, including the investigation of Standard Oil that toppled the Rockefeller monopoly. Driving this revolutionary publication were two improbable newcomers united by single-minded ambition. S. S. McClure was an Irish immigrant, who, despite bouts of mania, overthrew his impoverished upbringing and bent the New York media world to his will. His steadying hand and star reporter was Ida Tarbell, a woman who defied gender expectations and became a notoriously fearless journalist. ThroughĀ McClureā€™s, they cemented investigative journalismā€™s crucial role in democracy and introduced Americans to the voices of Willa Cather, Arthur Conan Doyle, Robert Louis Stevenson, Joseph Conrad, and many others.

TracingĀ McClureā€™sĀ from its meteoric rise to its spectacularly swift and dramatic combustion,Ā Citizen ReportersĀ is a thrillingly told, deeply researched biography of a powerhouse magazine that forever changed American life. Itā€™s also a timely case study that demonstrates the crucial importance of journalists who are unafraid to speak truth to power.
