Final answer:
False, The Saturday Evening Post did not continue the muckraking tradition into the 1920s; the magazine shifted its focus away from exposing business corruption and towards entertainment and fiction.
Step-by-step explanation:
True or False? The Saturday Evening Post continued the muckraking tradition—especially by criticizing business corruption—into the 1920s. False. Although muckraking journalism, which investigates problems in government and business, was prolific during the Progressive Era from 1890 to 1920, by the 1920s magazines like The Saturday Evening Post had largely moved away from the muckraking model. They shifted focus towards entertainment and fiction, which was a trend that many former muckraking outlets followed post-World War I. This shift reflects a broader trend away from the exposés of corrupt business practices that characterized muckraking journalism.
