Miraldi, Robert. "The Journalism of David Graham Phillips," New York University, June 1985. Advisor: Paul R. Baker (4, 11)
This dissertation explores Phillips’ journalism, places it against the changing Gilded Age newspaper, and relates it to Phillips’ controversial popular fiction and nonfiction between 1901 and his 1911 assassination. The study finds that the main body of Phillips’ work—23 novels, 100 magazine articles—was fore-shadowed by his journalism, that the style and ideology of his muckraking novels stem from his journalistic training, and that his magazine nonfiction after 1901 revealed a pattern that led to his famous 1906 muckraking article, “The Treason of the Senate.” Phillips’ journalism was alternatively objective, sensational, crusading, colorful, and staid. His muckraking mirrored the strengths and weaknesses of the 1902-1912 muckraking movement.
