At the height of World War I, in the winter of 1917 1918, one of the Progressive era s most successful muckracking journalists, Ray Stannard Baker (1870 1946), set out on a special mission to Europe on behalf of the Wilson administration. While posing as a foreign correspondent for the New Republic and the New York World, Baker assessed public opinion in Europe about the war and post-war settlement.
