FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A VOTING RIGHTS: THE BATTLE OVER VOTER SUPPRESSION IS ONE OF MOTHER JONES' MOST ESSENTIAL AREAS OF COVERAGE. MOTHER JONES WAS THE FIRST NATIONAL MEDIA OUTLET TO REPORT ON THIS ISSUE REGULARLY AND DEEPLY, EXPLORING HOW THE PUSH FOR MINORITY RULE MAY BE THE GREATEST THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY. NINETEEN STATES PASSED 34 NEW LAWS IN 2021 REDUCING VOTING ACCESS, MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT TO VOTE BY MAIL AND EASIER TO REMOVE VOTERS FROM THE ROLLS, CUTTING THE NUMBER OF EARLY VOTING DAYS, ERECTING NEW BARRIERS TO VOTER REGISTRATION, AND REDUCING THE NUMBER OF POLLING PLACES. VOTING RIGHTS REPORTER ARI BERMAN DOCUMENTED THESE OVERT REPUBLICAN-LED EFFORTS AT DISENFRANCHISEMENT. NATIONAL SECURITY AND DEMOCRACY: RUSSIA'S ASSAULT ON UKRAINE SHOCKED THE WORLD, BUT MOTHER JONES LONG AGO LAID THE GROUNDWORK FOR UNDERSTANDING THIS WAR. AS DC BUREAU CHIEF DAVID CORN POINTED OUT IN THE FIRST DAYS OF THE WAR, PUTIN WAS EMBOLDENED BY THE IMPUNITY HE ENJOYED WHEN HE ATTACKED THE UNITED STATES AND OUR ELECTION. CORN ALSO REVEALED THE EXTENT TO WHICH THERE IS A DANGEROUS FEEDBACK LOOP BETWEEN US RIGHT-WING MEDIA AND KREMLIN PROPAGANDA: PUTIN'S GOVERNMENT WAS SENDING MEMOS TO RUSSIAN MEDIA OUTLETS TELLING THEM "IT IS ESSENTIAL" THEY FEATURE FOX NEWS COMMENTATOR TUCKER CARLSON "AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE." WE ALSO WERE ABLE TO REPORT FROM THE FRONTLINES, WITH INCREDIBLE DISPATCHES FROM FORMER MOTHER JONES FELLOW MOLLY SCHWARTZ WHO DETAILED HER OWN ESCAPE FROM RUSSIA AND TOOK US INSIDE THE EXTENSIVE VOLUNTEER EFFORTS IN POLAND TO HELP UKRAINIAN REFUGEES. DISINFORMATION: MOTHER JONES CONSISTENTLY EXPLORES HOW RIGHT-WING MEDIA, TECH, AND SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AMPLIFY DISINFORMATION. REPORTER ALI BRELAND HAS HIS FINGER ON THE PULSE OF THE ALT RIGHT MOVEMENT, INVESTIGATING AND TRACKING INSURRECTION AND DISINFORMATION THROUGH THE FAR-RIGHT ECOSYSTEM. HE REPORTED A FASCINATING STORY ABOUT AN ACTIVIST WHO WENT UNDERCOVER IN THE QANON WORLD AND DESCRIBED THE MOVEMENT FROM THE INSIDE BEFORE HER IDENTITY WAS REVEALED. REPORTERS STEPHANIE MENCIMER AND KIERA BUTLER HAVE BOTH GONE INSIDE ONLINE INFORMATION ECOSYSTEMS TO DEMONSTRATE HOW THESE GROUPS HAVE CORRODED PUBLIC DISCOURSE, IN STORIES DEPICTING HIGH PROFILE MEMBERS OF THESE MOVEMENTS AND INVESTIGATING HOW DISPARATE CORNERS OF THIS UNIVERSE ARE COMING TOGETHER. EXTREMISM: OUR JOURNALISTS REPORT ON THE HARD EDGE OF RADICAL AND ANTIDEMOCRATIC MOVEMENTS AND IDEOLOGIES IN AMERICAFROM THE FRINGES OF THE INTERNET TO STATE LEGISLATURES AND CONGRESS. IN THE RUN-UP TO THE 2016 ELECTION, OUR REPORTERS WERE AMONG VERY FEW TO DIG INTO THE WAY TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN INTENTIONALLY MAINSTREAMED WHITE SUPREMACIST MEMES AND IDEAS. WE WROTE ABOUT THE OATH KEEPERS AS EARLY AS 2010 AND HAVE BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF REPORTING ON MILITIAS, WHITE NATIONALISTS, AND OTHER EXTREMIST MOVEMENTS. DAVID CORN'S ESSAYS BROUGHT INSIGHT AND CONTEXT TO THE ONGOING POWER STRUGGLE OVER WHOSE TRUTH STANDS. ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE INSURRECTION, HE WROTE MOVINGLY ABOUT HOW AMERICANS WERE REMEMBERING THE DATE AND NOTED THAT, DESPITE THE CONVENTIONAL NARRATIVE, MOMENTS OF NATIONAL TRAGEDY RARELY LEAD TO NATIONAL UNITY. POLITICAL & FINANCIAL CORRUPTION: MOTHER JONES CONTINUES TO PURSUE THE KIND OF SHOE LEATHER INVESTIGATIONS FOR WHICH WE ARE KNOWN, EXAMINING CORRUPTION THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY BREAK THE LAW BUT POINTS TO CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND SELF-DEALING. WEAKENED CAMPAIGN-FINANCE RESTRICTIONS AND TRANSPARENCY REQUIREMENTS IN THIS ERA HAVE MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR CORRUPT OFFICIALS TO FLIP AN ELECTION WITHOUT DISCLOSURE OR ACCOUNTABILITY. REPORTER DAN FRIEDMAN INVESTIGATES POLITICAL CORRUPTION AT THE TOP LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT, FOR EXAMPLE REPORTING THAT TOP TRUMP OFFICIALS VIOLATED A LAW RESTRICTING PARTISAN POLITICAL ACTIVITY BY FEDERAL EMPLOYEES, BUT FACED NO LEGAL CONSEQUENCES. WE ARE ALSO TAKING ON THE STRUCTURAL CHALLENGES AND FINANCIAL LOOPHOLES PRESENT IN OUR CURRENT SYSTEMS THAT GENERATE DEEPER INEQUALITY. IN THE SPRING, WE ROLLED OUT A 15-STORY-STRONG, MULTIMEDIA PACKAGE ON PRIVATE EQUITY AND ALL THE WAYS THIS FACET OF OUR FINANCIAL SECTOR HAS INFILTRATED EVERYDAY LIFE. GENDER JUSTICE: WHEN THE SUPREME COURT HANDED DOWN THE DOBBS DECISION THIS SUMMER, THE NATION EFFECTIVELY ENDED A 50-YEAR GUARANTEE OF BODILY AUTONOMY FOR WOMEN, CREATING A DANGEROUS AND CONFUSING PATCHWORK OF LAWS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY AND AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE FOR WOMEN IN THE UNITED STATES. MOTHER JONES HAS REPORTED ON ISSUES OF GENDER JUSTICE SINCE OUR FOUNDING SHORTLY AFTER THE ROE DECISION AND HAS BEEN RINGING THE ALARM IN RECENT YEARS AS WE CREPT CLOSER TO THIS INEVITABILITY. REPORTER BECCA ANDREWS SHOWED THREE YEARS AGO HOW WOMEN IN MISSISSIPPI WERE ALREADY LIVING IN A POST-ROE WORLD, AND NINA LISS-SCHULTZ OUTLINED HOW ABORTION-RIGHTS DEFENDERS WERE PREPARING FOR THE WORST. STEPHANIE MENCIMER LAID OUT WHAT SAM ALITO IS ALL ABOUT BACK IN 2016. AND IN THE MONTHS SINCE, WE'VE BEEN ON THE GROUND REPORTING FROM RED STATES ABOUT WHAT IT'S LIKE FOR WOMEN, WHAT HAPPENS TO OTHER FERTILITY TREATMENTS, AND HIGHLIGHTING THE FAILURES OF SOCIAL SAFETY NETS TO CARE FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN. CLIMATE CRISIS: THE ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL LANDSCAPE OF THE COMING YEARS AND DECADES WILL BE DOMINATED BY THE CHALLENGE TO DECARBONIZE EVERY SECTOR OF OUR LIVES AND MOTHER JONES COVERS THIS STORY MEANINGFULLY. WHAT CULTURAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL SHIFTS WILL THIS ENTAIL? WHO WILL PROFITAND HOW? WHO IS RESISTING? WHO IS AT RISK OF BEING LEFT BEHIND? WHAT ARE SOME OF THE UNHERALDED IDEAS, POSSIBILITIES, PITFALLS, AND BOONDOGGLES THAT WILL DETERMINE THE SHAPE OF THE GREAT DECARBONIZATION? THE BATTLE OVER DECARBONIZATION IS A GENERATION-DEFINING PROJECT, ON THE SCALE OF THE MID-20TH CENTURY'S WAR EFFORT AND ENSURING WE AT LEAST BEGIN TO REVERSE THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT NATIONAL SECURITY IMPLICATIONS AS MORE PLACES THE WORLD OVER ARE AFFECTED BY SERIOUS CLIMATE EVENTS AND BECOME LESS HABITABLE. 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 THE WASHINGTON POST. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 THE FOUNDATION FOR NATIONAL PROGRESS PUBLISHES MOTHER JONES, A MAGAZINE AND MULTI-PLATFORM 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 ALMOST 50 JOURNALISTS (AND A STAFF OF MORE THAN 85) 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, DEEP-DIGGING JOURNALISM. MOTHER JONES IS PROVING AGAIN THAT A 46-YEAR-OLD NEWS ORGANIZATION CAN CHANGE THE CONVERSATION.
