Merger of Mother Jones, The Center for Investigative Reporting Is Official

SAN FRANCISCO – The merger of two of the country’s most storied and trusted investigative news organizations, Mother Jones and The Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR), took effect Feb. 1, forming a news outlet that reaches millions of people each month through in-depth reporting across social media, websites, video, radio, podcast, and print.

“This is a moment of tremendous urgency for journalism and for democracy,” said Monika Bauerlein, CEO of the newly merged organization. “By merging, we can shine a light into more dark corners, and reach more people with investigative reporting on the issues that matter most.”

The integrated newsroom will continue to produce Mother Jones’ magazine and website, the Reveal radio show and podcast, and documentary films such as The Grab, which investigates efforts to control the planet’s supply of food and water.

Leadership of the organization includes Bauerlein; Clara Jeffery, Editor-in-Chief; Reveal host Al Letson; and Robert J. Rosenthal, CEO emeritus. The organization currently reaches an audience of 10 million per month, including 3.5 million across digital platforms, 1.8 million on radio and podcasts, and nearly 500,000 print or newsletter subscribers.

and along with the Guardian and Rolling Stone it will be awesome......

Of course it is much easier for the right wing Trump Humpers to listen to Fox "Spoon feed" their crap to them than it is to have to use their brains. Somewhere I read, (Might be BS to a certain degree) that the average of the 70 Million Trump Voters, esp from the southern states reading level is the third grade.......

and especially due to David Corn.

I know they were continually asking for donations so hopefully this will give them a bigger audience for more financial stability.
