Mother Jones Magazine
Founded in 1976, Mother Jones is an independent, nonprofit magazine whose roots
lie in a commitment to social justice implemented through first-rate
investigative reporting. Winner of a 2001 National Magazine Award in General
Excellence, Mother Jones has been nominated for National Magazine Awards nine
times and has won four times. Mother Jones has twice been named "Best in the
Business" for investigative reporting by the American Journalism Review, and won
the 2000 Alternative Press Award for General Excellence.
Since Roger Cohn took over as editor-in-chief in 1999, Mother Jones has
redoubled its commitment to its core values through groundbreaking
investigations on subjects such as the pitfalls of for-profit online education;
the rise of the private prison industry; the boom in offshore tax-evasion by
Americans who profited from the bull stock market of the '90s and by U.S. banks
and corporations; and the unhealthy consequences of the mass-market television
advertising of prescription drugs. The magazine also publishes commentary by
writers such as Christopher Hitchens, Molly Ivins, and Debra Dickerson, and
humor by Ian Frazier and Jack Hitt.
