Need to know who you're asking about, please.
A muckraker comes from person that "mucks" or cleans horse's stalls.
Common usage has this term being used to define a person that goes out and deliberately reveals bad things about other people, usually for political advantage.

President Teddy Roosevelt ~1906 was the one who coined the term 'muckraker' to describe the journalists who print gossip (true or false) about the private lives of public individuals.

Because he used his photography to expose social problems, in particular child labour.
