Investigative Reporting at its Finest
Mother Jones, founded in 1976 is a premier magazine that exemplifies what investigative reporting should be. Their topics for investigative articles are primarily directed at corporate or governmental agencies where they excel at uncovering the truth and providing a balanced, albeit liberal reporting on their findings. You would be astonished at the hypocrisy that is exposed on a regular basis often committed by people who have the most power, and ultimately, the most impact on our daily lives. Unlike many of the other magazines with investigative reporting, Mother Jones is truly independent and has nothing to gain by slanting the view as they are non-profit.
Exposing Bad Decisions
Our nation is full of people in power who frankly, make really bad decisions. Mother Jones exposes the problem and offers a well written, in-depth and highly comprehensible article that will have you shaking your head, if not your fist in disbelief of how anyone could have done that. The writing and reporting is of the highest standards and you'll wonder why you haven't read about this in detail before.
A Liberal Approach to Excellence
Yes, Mother Jones is unabashedly liberal, but incredibly fair in their reporting. They also offer first rate political commentary plus articles on health, environmental, racial, and ethnic issues. The magazine has won a number of awards over the years and is very proud of their journalistic standards. As a regular reader, you'll soon begin to appreciate the quality reporting of the news. It's tough to find at the grocery store or newsstand, so a subscription to Mother Jones is the most economical and surest way to receive every issue of their magazine.
