Explain how The Jungle by Upton Sinclair is an example of media changing society.

Answer:

The Jungle by Upton Sinclair is a perfect example of the muckraking abilities of the media. Even though the story was fictional, Upton Sinclair illuminated the corruption and abhorrent conditions of the meat-packing industry. Sinclair’s book changed society; in the years following The Jungle, public outcry was so intense that the Food and Drug Administration was created to monitor the poor working conditions of workers and increase food safety.
