The Muckraker is the school newspaper at William McKinley High School. It was defunct for two years due to lack of interest, but Sue Sylvester revives the newspaper as a gossip rag.

The Muckraker's lack of concern with traditional fact-based news reporting is encapsulated in its motto: "If I heard it, it's probably true or something."

  • Becky does not act as a journalist, but sells the newspaper in the corridors.
  • Despite the school paper being inactive for two years prior to Rumours, Quinn mentioned a school paper in Showmance, however this was most likely just a continuity error.
