Narrator Task C Narrator Now listen to a lecture in a journalism class. Professor Today uh I want to start off by focusing on one of the more influential journalists of the early twentieth century Ida Tarbell. She began reporting for a magazine in 1894. She was interested in writing about corporations especially about the Standard Oil Company so she became an investigative reporter. She was one of the famous muckrakers that we read about last week. Now uh Ida Tarbell spent two years studying Standard Oil s corporate records interviewing company officials she even met with the director of the corporation. For some reason he trusted her and told her all kinds of things. In 1904 she published a series of articles about Standard Oil. Her articles gave details about all kinds of corporate scandals abuses of power unfair practices. These articles made her readers angry and not just angry at Standard Oil but at trusts in general. And it was probably Tarbell s writings that caused Congress to break up Standard Oil in 1911. Narrator Task D Narrator Now listen to a discussion in a photography class.
