Steve Weinberg, a former executive director of Investigative Reporters & Editors, reviews two new books, Robert Frump's Until the Sea Shall Free Them [3] and William and Judith Serrin's Muckraking! The Journalism that Changed America [4], which show how crusading journalists have been able to bring about beneficial social change by searching beyond the spin to expose corruption.
