As a result of Peter Collier's pioneering investigative journalism, Collier's established a reputation as a proponent of social reform. After lawsuits by several companies against Collier's ended in failure, other magazines joined in what Theodore Roosevelt described as "muckraking journalism." Founded by Nathan S. Collier, a descendant of Peter Collier, the Collier Prize for State Government Accountability was created in 2019.[3] The annual US$25,000 prize is one of the largest American journalism prizes,[4] and it was established to honor Peter Collier’s legacy and contributions in the field of investigative reporting.[5][6]
