o newspaper circulation increased but little else happened.

Explanation:

Investigative journalism uncovering corruption and scandal in business and government typically leads to government investigations and regulatory reforms. Jacob Riis was a muckraker known for exposing slum conditions, not elected to Congress. Urban governments hiring reporters for corruption - looking is not a common result. Newspaper circulation increase is a side - effect, but the main result is systemic change like reforms.

Government investigations and regulatory reforms were implemented.
