Exposé (journalism)

From Free net encyclopedia

An exposé is an article or book intended to reveal shocking or surprising information. Often, they are a form of investigative journalism, in which a reporter/author delves into a commonplace subject and discovers scandal or other misdeeds. A good example might be Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, which exposed shocking disregard for health in the meat-packing industry of the early 20th century.
