Answer & explanation:

The muckrakers were a group of journalists during the Progressive Era period (1890s-1920s)  that would search and expose corruption, lies and scandals in politics and corporate monopolies.

Examples of Muckrackers: Ray Stannard Baker, David Graham Phillips and Ida M Tarbell, among others.

They impacted in US history because they changed the way to do journalism (from yellow sensationalist journalism and objective journalism, to  investigative journalism) and because they were politically engaged and wanted to change society by exposing wrong, so the government and the corporations wouldn´t find it so easy to deceive and manage the public opinion.
