FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A MOTHER JONES SEEKS A WORLD IN WHICH JOURNALISM, RATHER THAN POSITIONING ITSELF ON THE SIDELINES, IS FULLY AND SUSTAINABLY ENGAGED IN BUILDING A MORE INCLUSIVE DEMOCRACY; WHERE AUDIENCES ARE INSPIRED TO CIVIC ACTION BY TRUTHFUL, RELEVANT REPORTING; AND WHERE THE STRUCTURES OF JOURNALISM NO LONGER REPRODUCE INEQUITY. INVESTIGATIVE AND INDEPTH REPORTING IN THE US IS IN A CRISIS AND RESOURCES FOR PUBLICINTEREST REPORTING HAVE WITHERED AS THE BUSINESS MODEL FOR TRADITIONAL MEDIA COLLAPSED. NEW AUDIENCESESPECIALLY THOSE IN HISTORICALLY UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIESNEED REPORTING THAT REFLECTS THEIR PRIORITIES AND VOICES AND IS ACCESSIBLE IN THE FORMATS AND PLATFORMS THEY PREFER TO USE. MOTHER JONES ADDRESSES THIS NEED BY EXPANDING REACH AND ENGAGEMENT, AND BUILDING PARTICIPATORY RELATIONSHIPS WITH AUDIENCES HUNGRY FOR TRUTHFUL, RIGOROUS, AND UNVARNISHED JOURNALISM. OUR COMMITMENT TO FAIRNESS AND JUSTICE HAS BEEN THERE FROM THE START; OUR JOURNALISTS ARE NOT HELD TO A STANDARD OF FALSE OBJECTIVITY THAT DEVALUES THEIR PERSPECTIVE AND ENSHRINES THE STATUS QUO. WE HAVE A TRACK RECORD OF REPORTING THAT CHALLENGES WHITE SUPREMACY AND ELEVATES THE VOICES OF THOSE FIGHTING FOR CHANGE. OUR CHALLENGE IN THIS HISTORIC MOMENT IS TO BECOME A NEWSROOM THAT CAN LEAD, NOT JUST CHRONICLE, THE FIGHT FOR EQUITYIN JOURNALISM AND THE WORLD. TO SERVE THIS MOMENT, THESE EDITORIAL PRIORITIES GUIDE US: RESTORATION OF DEMOCRACY: AS THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ATTEMPTS TO UNWIND THE POLICIES AND DESTRUCTION OF THE PAST FOUR YEARS, WE ARE TRACKING POLICY MOVES, KEEPING A CLOSE WATCH FOR POLITICAL CORRUPTION. LED BY DC BUREAU CHIEF DAVID CORN, OUR REPORTERS UNCOVER STORIES OF POLITICAL MALFEASANCE AND SWAMPY BEHAVIOR, PAST AND PRESENT. REPORTER KARA VOGHT WILL DIG DEEP ON THE NEW WASHINGTON AS BIDEN CHARTS HIS COURSE, WITH AN EYE ON HIS PROGRESSIVE FRENEMIES IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, WHILE REPORTER TIM MURPHY IS WATCHING THE NEW ADMINISTRATION'S ANTAGONISTS. VOTING RIGHTS: THE BATTLE OVER VOTER SUPPRESSION IS ONE OF MOTHER JONES' CENTRAL BEATS, LED BY ARI BERMAN, WHOSE INVESTIGATIONS HAVE CONSISTENTLY SET THE AGENDA ON THIS ISSUE. AFTER EXPOSING HOW VOTER SUPPRESSION MAY WELL HAVE THROWN THE 2016 ELECTION TO TRUMP, PROFILING THE BIPARTISAN, MULTIRACIAL COALITION THAT GOT FELON REENFRANCHISEMENT PASSED IN FLORIDA, AND GOING DEEP ON THE THREAT TO A FAIR CENSUS, BERMAN IS NOW DOCUMENTING HOW VOTER SUPPRESSION EFFORTS ARE INTENSIFYING AS MANY CONSERVATIVES CONTINUE TO CLAIM THAT THE 2020 ELECTION WAS STOLEN, AND HOW MINORITY RULE MAY BE THE GREATEST EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY. AND IN A COVER STORY IN THE MAGAZINE THIS SUMMER, BERMAN INVESTIGATED HOW THE GOP HAS REVIVED THE JIM CROW ERA WITH LAWS DESIGNED TO DISENFRANCHISE AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTERS. WHITE SUPREMACY AND EXTREMIST MOVEMENTS: MOTHER JONES WAS REPORTING ON THE MAINSTREAMING OF RACIST AND EXTREMIST MOVEMENTS, BEFORE DONALD TRUMP WAS A CANDIDATE, WHILE OTHER MEDIA OFTEN STILL DISMISSED THIS THREAT. THE EVENTS OF JANUARY 6, 2021, MAKE CLEAR THAT REPORTING ON VIOLENT EXTREMISM IS MORE URGENT THAN EVER. DISINFORMATION REPORTER ALI BRELAND INVESTIGATES ONLINE MOVEMENTS THAT FOSTER SUPPORT FOR WHITE SUPREMACIST IDEAS AND FARRIGHT CANDIDATES, AND NATIONAL AFFAIRS EDITOR MARK FOLLMAN TRACKS THE THREAT OF STOCHASTIC TERRORISM. RACIAL INEQUITIES: IN THE AFTERMATH OF GEORGE FLOYD'S DEATH AT THE HANDS OF MINNESOTA POLICE, OUR REPORTERS FOCUSED ON THE MOVEMENT FOR BLACK LIVES AND THE CIVIL UPRISING ON OUR AMERICAN UPRISING BLOG. WE'VE EXPERIENCED URGENT REMINDERS OF THE RACIAL INEQUITIES IN OUR SOCIETY, WITH THE DISPARITIES IN COVID OUTCOMES, REPORTED BY EDDIE RIOS, AND ECONOMIC INEQUALITY HIGHLIGHTED BY REPORTER HANNAH LEVINTOVA. AS WE FOLLOW CHANGE MOVEMENTS, REPORTERS LIKE NATHALIE BAPTISTE WILL COVER THE RISING POLITICAL ENGAGEMENT AMONG COMMUNITIES OF COLOR AND THE WAYS IN WHICH RACISM PLAGUES PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS. POLICING AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE: OUR REPORTERS ARE FOCUSED ON THE CHANGING DEBATE ABOUT POLICING AND INCARCERATION IN AMERICA, AS WELL AS THE WAYS IN WHICH THE PANDEMIC HAS EXACERBATED HORRIFIC CONDITIONS. REPORTER SAMANTHA MICHAELS INVESTIGATED A KEY REASON WHY OFFICERS WHO ABUSE OR KILL OFTEN FACE NO ACCOUNTABILITY AND IS FOLLOWING HOW ENTRENCHED SYSTEMS AND POLICIES ARE HAMSTRINGING REFORM, WHILE REPORTER MADISON PAULY CONTINUES TO FOLLOW THE STORY OF PRIVATE PRISONS, A SUBJECT OF DEEPDIVE INVESTIGATIVE RESOURCES HERE FOR YEARS, AND THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. IMMIGRATION AND DETENTION: WE WORK TO EXPOSE THOSE WHO CREATE AND PROFIT FROM ANTI IMMIGRANT POLICIES. REPORTER NOAH LANARD UNCOVERED THE GROWTH OF SECRET PRIVATE DETENTION FACILITIES AND THE ABUSES INSIDE, REPORTING THAT HAS BEEN REFERENCED IN LAWSUITS AND CITED BY US SENATORS. FERNANDA ECHAVARRI OPENS OUR EYES TO THE TRUE BORDER CRISIS IN AMERICA. IMMIGRATION POLICY IN THE LAST ADMINISTRATION LEFT A DARK LEGACY AND OUR REPORTERS ARE FOLLOWING POLICY CHANGES, WHILE HIGHLIGHTING THE OFTENOVERLOOKED VOICES OF IMMIGRANTS. PUBLIC HEALTH AND DISINFORMATION: NEVER BEFORE HAVE PUBLIC HEALTH, DISINFORMATION, AND RACIAL AND ECONOMIC EQUITY INTERSECTED AS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. AS WE SLOWLY MOVE INTO A POSTPANDEMIC WORLD, SENIOR EDITOR KIERA BUTLER INVESTIGATES THE INSIDIOUS COMBINATION AND JACKIE FLYNN MOGENSEN FOLLOWS THE TRENDS IN PUBLIC HEALTH AND HOW WE INTERACT WITH SCIENCE AND ITS INSTITUTIONS. CLIMATE CHANGE AND ENVIRONMENT: MOTHER JONES HAS COVERED CLIMATE CHANGE AS A MAJOR THREAT SINCE THE 1980S. TOM PHILPOTT, ONE OF THE MOST RESPECTED WRITERS ON FARMING AND FOOD, EXPLORES CLIMATE AND EQUITY IN AGRICULTURE. A RECENT INVESTIGATION INTO HOW BLACK FARMERS HAVE BEEN EXPELLED FROM FARMS IN THE US, DUE TO A HISTORY OF RACIST POLICIES AND LAND THEFT, IS INDICATIVE OF HIS CONTINUED COVERAGE OF INEQUITIES IN OUR FOOD SYSTEMS, FROM MEATPACKING PLANTS TO FARMWORKERS. WE HAVE RECENTLY LAUNCHED A SEARCH FOR A CLIMATE JUSTICE REPORTER WHO WILL FOCUS ON THE MYRIAD WAYS THE CLIMATE CRISIS TOUCHES THE REST OF OUR WORK AND FOCUS ON THE INEQUITIES THAT ARE AMPLIFIED BY THIS EMERGENCY. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B SINCE 1980, MOTHER JONES HAS PLACED AN EMPHASIS ON CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR ASPIRING JOURNALISTS THROUGH THE BEN BAGDIKIAN FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM. WHILE THERE ARE A NUMBER OF GENERAL JOURNALISM AND REPORTING INTERNSHIPS AVAILABLE FOR STUDENTS OR RECENT COLLEGE GRADUATES, ONLY MOTHER JONES PUTS SUCH AN EMPHASIS ON INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING. AMONG THE LARGEST TRAINING PROGRAMS IN THE INDEPENDENT MEDIA COMMUNITY, THE BEN BAGDIKIAN FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM GIVES ASPIRING JOURNALISTS INTENSIVE TRAINING IN WHAT IT TAKES TO PUBLISH OUTSTANDING, INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM, TO MEET DEADLINES, AND TO WORK AS PART OF A PROFESSIONAL TEAM. IT IS A RARE OPPORTUNITY FOR NEW JOURNALISTS TO WORK ALONGSIDE SOME OF THE TOP REPORTERS AND JOURNALISTS IN THE BUSINESS, AND TO LEARN THE INNER WORKINGS OF MULTIMEDIA NATIONAL REPORTING WITH A SPECIAL FOCUS ON INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM. DEPENDING ON FUNDING AVAILABILITY, THE PROGRAM ALSO OFFERS INTERNSHIPS FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN ART AND PHOTOGRAPHY, NONPROFIT PUBLIC AFFAIRS AND SOCIAL MEDIA, AND THE BUSINESS AND TECHNOLOGY SIDE OF PUBLISHING. GRADUATES LEAVE WITH PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE, WORK THAT THEY CAN BE PROUD OF, AND A NETWORK OF FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME. OF THE MORE THAN 800 INTERNS AND FELLOWS WHO HAVE PASSED THROUGH MOTHER JONES' PROGRAM, MORE THAN HALF MOVED ON TO A CAREER IN JOURNALISM OR THE MEDIA AT SOME OF THE NATION'S MOST PRESTIGIOUS MEDIA OUTLETS. GRADUATES OF THE PROGRAM WORK THROUGHOUT THE NATIONAL MEDIA WORLD AT OUTLETS RANGING FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES AND THE WALL STREET JOURNAL TO NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO AND SALON.COM. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 THE FOUNDATION FOR NATIONAL PROGRESS PUBLISHES MOTHER JONES, A MAGAZINE AND MULTIPLATFORM DIGITAL NEWS SITE, AND DIRECTS THE BEN BAGDIKIAN FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM. SINCE ITS FOUNDING, MOTHER JONES' GOAL HAS BEEN TO PRODUCE, IN THE WORDS OF OUR MISSION STATEMENT, "REVELATORY JOURNALISM THAT IN ITS POWER AND REACH INFORMS AND INSPIRES A MORE JUST AND DEMOCRATIC WORLD." THESE WORDS SIGNAL AN IMPORTANT FOCUS: OUR REPORTING DOES NOT EXIST IN A VACUUM BUT SEEKS TO HAVE AN IMPACT FOR DEMOCRACY AND JUSTICE THROUGH RIGOROUSLY RESEARCHED INVESTIGATIONS AND COMPELLING STORYTELLING IN A WIDELY ACCESSIBLE FORM. IN THIS TIME OF MISINFORMATION AND FEAR FOR OUR DEMOCRACY, MOTHER JONES GOES DEEP TO GET AT IMPORTANT TRUTHS. THIS ORGANIZATION IS AT THE FOREFRONT OF A MOVEMENT OF INDEPENDENT NONPROFIT JOURNALISM CHANGING THE WAY AMERICANS FIND AND CONSUME INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING. WITH 50+ JOURNALISTS (AND A STAFF OF MORE THAN 90) ORGANIZED INTO THREE NEWSROOMS BUT GEOGRAPHICALLY LOCATED ACROSS THE COUNTRY, OUR TEAM COVERS EVERYTHING FROM THE FUTURE OF OUR DEMOCRACY AND CORRUPTION IN THE WHITE HOUSE TO THE IMMIGRATION CRISIS AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER, THE STRUGGLE FOR CHANGE IN OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, THE EXISTENTIAL THREAT OF THE CLIMATE CRISIS, AND THE WAYS CORRUPT POLITICS ENDANGERS THE ENVIRONMENT. IN PRINT, ONLINE, VIA PODCASTS AND VIDEO, WE REACH A YOUNGER, GROWING AUDIENCE HUNGRY FOR HONEST, FIERCE, DEEPDIGGING JOURNALISM. MOTHER JONES IS PROVING AGAIN THAT A 45-YEAR-OLD NEWS ORGANIZATION CAN CHANGE THE CONVERSATION.
