    • Yellow and personal journalism were antecedents to the Progressive muckraking era in the nineteenth and twentieth century.
    • The muckrakers of the Progressive era were known for their investigative journalism; however, investigations of corruption and social problems had already been introduced into the newspapers of the late nineteenth century by publishers and journalists during the eras of "personal journalism" and "yellow journalism. " Just as the muckrakers became well known for their crusades, journalists from the eras of personal journalism and yellow journalism had gained fame through their investigative articles, including articles that exposed wrongdoings.
    • While some muckrakers, such as Steffens, had already worked for reform newspapers of the personal journalism variety, other muckrakers had worked for yellow journals before moving on to magazines around 1900, such as Charles Edward Russell.
    • The muckrakers appeared at a moment when journalism was undergoing changes in style and practice.
    • In response to the exaggerated facts of yellow journalism, objective journalism, as exemplified by The New York Times under Adolph Ochs after 1896, turned away from sensationalism and reported facts with the intention of being impartial and a newspaper of record.
