exposers
Those who unmask
Exposers are people or things that reveal, uncover, or bring something to light.
A journalist might be an exposer of corruption, while a whistleblower exposes wrongdoing within an organization.
The term can also apply more literally to someone who exposes others to something, whether beneficial or harmful: The camp counselors were great exposers of city kids to nature.
In photography, an exposer is a device or person that exposes film or photographic paper to light.
