He later became an editor of McClure's magazine, where he became part of a celebrated muckraking trio with Ida Tarbell and Ray Stannard Baker.[5] He specialized in investigating government and political corruption, and two collections of his articles were published as The Shame of the Cities (1904) and The Struggle for Self-Government (1906). In 2011 Kevin Baker of The New York Times lamented that "Lincoln Steffens isn't much remembered today".[12] Characters on the American crime drama series City on a Hill, which debuted in 2019, make numerous references to Lincoln Steffens.[14][15] The Letters of Lincoln Steffens, edited by Ella Winter and Granville Hicks, 2 vols.
