About

Published in 1890, Jacob Riis' remarkable study of the horrendous living conditions of the poor in New York City had an immediate and extraordinary impact on society, inspiring reforms that affected the lives of millions of people. Riis' reliance on specific, hard facts as weapons of social criticism pioneered the style of crusading journalism that continues today.
