What is the meaning of "dung rake" in newspapers and periodicals?
A "dung sweeper" refers to a reporter who specializes in collecting and exposing celebrity scandals. "Dung harrow" entered the American stage from the end of 19 to the beginning of the 20th century. At that time, the reformists were trying to promote social reform, but the "shit eaters" did not look at the new things in society, but reported a lot of ugly phenomena such as social injustice and discrimination to attract public attention. They expose corruption in business and politics through newspapers and magazines. Although the early "dung rakers" were criticized for their special hobbies, they also raised the public's attention to the socio-economic and political fields to a certain extent, and promoted a series of reforms, such as the adoption of the Pure Food Law and the Anti-monopoly Law. American statesman Theodore? Theodore roosevelt (1858— 19 19) is a person who named the reporter with this special hobby as "dung rake". The name "rake" is taken from the English writer John? Bunyan (john bunyan, 1628— 1688) wrote Pragru.
