COVERING THE BELTWAY AND THE 2012 ELECTION:SINCE WE LAUNCHED OUR EXPANDED 8-PERSON WASHINGTON DC BUREAU IN 2007 UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF BUREAU CHIEF DAVID CORN, IT HAS CARVED OUT AN IMPORTANT AND EFFECTIVE NICHE IN THE BELTWAY JOURNALISM SCENE. IT STANDS WITH ONE FOOT DEEP INSIDE "THE VILLAGE" (AS DC HAS COME TO BE CALLED BY PROGRESSIVE BLOGGERS) BUT ALSO WITH ONE FOOT FIRMLY ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN. IT'S THAT "INSIDE/OUTSIDE" STANCE THAT HELPS KEEP MOJO'S DC COVERAGE FRESH, FREE FROM THE HERD MENTALITY AND ADDICTION TO ACCESS THAT GOVERNS SO MUCH OF WHAT PASSES FOR COVERAGE OF THE NATIONAL POLITICAL SCENE THESE DAYS.WITH THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS DISASTROUS FOR THE DEMOCRATS, A GROWING INFLUENCE (NOT TO MENTION CONTROVERSIAL RHETORIC) AMONG CONGRESSIONAL TEA PARTY MEMBERS, THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION'S "MIXED BAG" RECORD, AND THE ECONOMY POSSIBLY HEADED FOR A RECESSIONARY DOUBLE DIP, THESE ARE NOT THE MOST HOPEFUL TIMES FOR THOSE OF US WHO WORKED FOR REAL REFORM IN THE WAKE OF THE 2008 ELECTION. INDEED, ON MATTERS OF WAR, GAY RIGHTS, CIVIL LIBERTIES, AND CLIMATE CHANGE, THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION HAS FALLEN FAR SHORT OF EXPECTATIONS, NOT TO MENTION THE LIMITED REFORMS CONTAINED IN THEIR LEGISLATIVE SUCCESSES FOR HEALTH CARE AND FINANCIAL REGULATION - AND THIS, EVEN GRANTING THE ABSOLUTIST OBSTRUCTIONISM FROM THE REPUBLICANS AND THE DIFFICULTIES OF MOVING LEGISLATION THROUGH THE SENATE. NOW IS THE TIME WHEN SOLID COVERAGE OF DC POLITICS THAT GIVES READERS THE CONTEXT FOR THE DAILY NEWS CYCLE IS REALLY IMPORTANT - ESPECIALLY AS THE 2012 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION SEASON BEGINS. LED BY BUREAU CHIEF DAVID CORN, MOTHER JONES' DC - BASED REPORTERS - SUZY KHIMM ON FOREIGN POLICY, NICK BAUMANN ON CONGRESSIONAL POLITICS, ANDREW KROLL ON THE ECONOMY AND WALL STREET, KATE SHEPPARD ON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES, AND DAN SCHULMAN ON THE NATIONAL SECURITY STATE - WILL CONTINUE TO COVER THE ADMINISTRATION'S POLICY EFFORTS AND POLITICAL FORTUNES. SENIOR REPORTER JAMES RIDGEWAY WILL CONTINUE HIS WORK FOCUSING ON HEALTH CARE AND ON CIVIL LIBERTIES, WHILE REPORTER STEPHANIE MENCIMER WILL KEEP INVESTIGATING THE FAR RIGHT, FROM THE TEA PARTY AND OATHKEEPERS TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. BEGINNING IN THE SPRING 2011, WE WILL ALSO BE PIVOTING OUR DC REPORTING TO FOCUS MORE ON THE ELECTION CYCLE ITSELF. FIRST UP IS TO TRACK WHO ENDS UP THROWING THEIR HAT INTO THE GOP'S RING, AND FOLLOWING THE DEBATES AND PRIMARIES. YOU CAN EXPECT TO HEAR FROM DAVID AND OTHER MOJO STAFF FROM THE ROAD, AS WE DID DURING THE 2008 ELECTION.

THE ANITA FUND: HUMAN RIGHTS REPORTING AND OUR GLOBAL JUSTICE JOURNALISM PROJECTANITA RODDICK - COFOUNDER OF THE BODY SHOP, MOTHER JONES BOARD MEMBER, AND HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVIST - BELIEVED THAT BRAVE JOURNALISM HAS A HUGELY IMPORTANT ROLE TO PLAY IN HELPING THE REST OF US UNDERSTAND AND STAND WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE DEPRIVED OF THEIR BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS. AFTER HER UNTIMELY DEATH ALMOST THREE YEARS AGO, THE STAFF AND BOARD OF MOTHER JONES FELT THE NEED TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL TO HONOR HER MEMORY. WITH INITIAL SUPPORT FROM HER HUSBAND GORDON AND TWO DAUGHTERS, WE LAUNCHED THE ANITA FUND: A GLOBAL JUSTICE JOURNALISM PROJECT. IN 2010, MOTHER JONES PUBLISHED A SPECIAL COLLECTION OF FEATURE STORIES ON HUMAN RIGHTS WITH OUR APRIL 2010 ISSUE. WE ALSO HIRED MAC MCCLELLAND TO COVER THE HUMAN RIGHTS BEAT. MAC IS A YOUNG, SMART, FUNNY, AND PASSIONATE JOURNALIST WHOSE BOOK ON BURMESE HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS, FOR US SURRENDER IS OUT OF THE QUESTION, WAS PUBLISHED TO GREAT REVIEWS IN EARLY 2010. IN 2011, MAC WILL CONTINUE TO REPORT FULL TIME FOR MOTHER JONES ON HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUE AROUND THE WORLD AND HERE IN THE UNITED STATES IN THE PAGES OF MOTHER JONES MAGAZINE, ON HER MOJO BLOG, "THE RIGHTS STUFF," AS WELL AS TO HER MORE THAN 5,600 TWITTER FOLLOWERS.WE WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO REPORT ON LGBT ISSUES IN 2011, BEGINNING WITH HOW THE FIGHT TO GET RID OF DADT PLAYS OUT, THE ONGOING LEGAL AND POLITICAL DISPUTE OVER PROP 8 IN CALIFORNIA. IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR INVESTIGATION OF THE FAR RIGHT AND ITS TAKEOVER OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, WE ALSO ARE TAKING A LOOK AT "TEA PARTY INC" - THE MONEY BEHIND THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT, INCLUDING THE OVERLAP WITH FUNDAMENTALIST AND ANTIGAY GROUPS. AS THE 2012 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN SWINGS INTO ACTION IN THE SECOND HALF OF 2011, WE EXPECT TO BE REPORTING ON HOW MARRIAGE EQUALITY AND WORKPLACE RIGHTS FOR LGBT PEOPLE WILL BE USED, ONCE AGAIN, AS STALKING HORSES IN THE ELECTION CYCLE. WE'LL AGAIN LOOK PARTICULARLY AT WHO'S SECRETLY FUNDING SOME OF THE PROPAGANDA AND HATE-MONGERING. LASTLY, THE EDITORS ARE EXPLORING A STORY, INSPIRED IN PART BY THE UGANDA DEATH-PENALTY-FOR-GAYS LAW, AT HOW US INTERESTS ARE EXPORTING AND/OR NURTURING ANTIGAY MOVEMENTS AND POLICIES OVERSEAS. SPEAKING OF TWITTER, BESIDES BEING NAMED ONE OF GRIST'S TOP GREEN TWITTERS, KATE SHEPPARD'S PIECES ON THE INTERSECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE ECONOMY ARE CONSISTENTLY BEING PICKED UP ALL OVER THE PROGRESSIVE AND MAINSTREAM MEDIA.

REPORTING ON THE ENVIRONMENT:MOTHER JONES WAS ONE OF THE ONLY JOURNALISM SHOPS TO COMMIT ONGOING, IN-THE-FIELD REPORTING RESOURCES TO COVERAGE OF THE BP OIL SPILL - AS CLARA JEFFERY AND MONIKA BAUERLEIN PUT IT IN A RECENT EDITORIAL NOTE, IT IS A "PRETTY DEVASTATING" COMMENT ON THE STATE OF ENVIRONMENTAL JOURNALISM THAT MOTHER JONES HAD MORE REPORTERS COVERING IT THAN THE MAJORITY OF AMERICA'S NEWSPAPERS AND TV NETWORKS. THE TEAM-BASED REPORTING ON THE ENVIRONMENT WE DEPLOYED ON THE SPILL (INVOLVING FOUR FULL TIME REPORTERS PLUS FREELANCERS AS WELL AS OUR INTERNS AND FELLOWS) IS EXTREMELY RARE THESE DAYS, WHAT WITH THE ASTONISHING DECIMATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL JOURNALISM THAT'S TAKEN PLACE IN THE PAST FEW YEARS. SIMPLY PUT, THERE ARE ALMOST NO PROFESSIONAL JOURNALISM ORGANIZATIONS WITH MORE THAN ONE OR TWO REPORTERS ASSIGNED TO AN ENVIRONMENTAL BEAT. AMONG INDEPENDENT MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS, MOTHER JONES IS ONE OF A HANDFUL THAT IS COMMITTED TO LONG-TERM COVERAGE OF THIS ISSUE AREA. WE'LL CONTINUE THIS APPROACH TO ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTING IN 2011.IN ADDITION, AS DESCRIBED IN A COMPANION PROPOSAL TO THIS ONE, IN 2011 WE WILL CONTINUE TO ACT AS CONVENER AND ORGANIZER FOR THE CLIMATE DESK, A JOURNALISTIC COLLABORATION ON THE MOST URGENT STORY OF OUR TIME -- HOW WE WILL ADAPT TO A WORLD RESHAPED BY CLIMATE CHANGE, AND HOW WE CAN SPEED THE SHIFT TO A POST-CARBON WORLD. IN ADDITION TO MOTHER JONES, PARTNERS INCLUDE SLATE, THE ATLANTIC, WIRED, THE NATION INSTITUTE, GRIST, THE CENTER FOR INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING, AND "NEED TO KNOW," THE WNET-NEW YORK THAT REPLACED BILL MOYERS' SHOW UPON HIS RETIREMENT THIS SPRING. TOGETHER, THESE PUBLICATIONS REACH 27 MILLION READERS.

KEEPING THE DOOR OPEN: THE BEN BAGDIKIAN FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMONE OF THE MORE TROUBLING CONSEQUENCES OF THE SHIFT IN MEDIA PRIORITIES IS THE EROSION OF TRAINING AND GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF REPORTERS. YOUNG PEOPLE STILL GO INTO JOURNALISM SCHOOL WITH THE GOAL OF CHANGING THE WORLD BY REPORTING THE TRUTH ONLY TO DISCOVER AS THEY COME OUT THAT THEIR AMBITION ISN'T WELCOME IN THE WORKPLACE. THE PROBLEM BEGINS AT THE ENTRY LEVEL. TO EVEN BEGIN A JOURNALISM CAREER, YOUNG REPORTERS ARE NOW ESSENTIALLY REQUIRED TO INVEST TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS BY ACCEPTING UNPAID, FULL-TIME INTERNSHIPS AS THE FIRST (AND OFTEN SECOND AND THIRD) RUNG IN THE CAREER LADDER. THOSE WHO CAN'T AFFORD THAT KIND OF INVESTMENT ARE BEING FROZEN OUT OF THE PROFESSION. THE CLASS AND RACE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS ARE SELF-EVIDENT.THIS IS WHY MOTHER JONES IS HOME TO ONE OF THE LARGEST AND MOST AMBITIOUS PAID INTERNSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS IN THE INDEPENDENT MEDIA WORLD, THE BEN BAGDIKIAN FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM, A TRAINING PROGRAM WHOSE GRADUATES HAVE GONE ON TO POSITIONS ACROSS THE JOURNALISM WORLD, FROM WIRED AND SLATE TO THE NEW YORK TIMES AND WASHINGTON POST. OUR PROGRAM IS THE ONE PLACE WHERE YOUNG AND ASPIRING JOURNALISTS CAN GET IN-THE-FIELD EXPERIENCE, NURTURE THE SOCIAL AND PROFESSIONAL NETWORKS THAT WILL ENABLE THEM TO BREAK INTO REPORTING, AND DEEPEN THEIR COMMITMENT AND PASSION FOR LEARNING THE TRADE. ON AVERAGE, EACH SESSION (THERE ARE TWO EACH YEAR) ENROLLS BETWEEN EIGHT AND TWELVE INTERNS AND CONTINUING FELLOWS. BESIDES MONTHLY BROWN BAG LUNCHEONS FEATURING SOME OF THE BEST REPORTERS, EDITORS AND OTHERS FROM THE WORLD OF JOURNALISM, INTERNS SERVE SIX MONTHS WITH EITHER MOTHER JONES OR MOTHERJONES.COM. MENTORED CLOSELY BY SENIOR EDITORS, THEY ARE EXPECTED TO WRITE SHORT PIECES FOR THE MAGAZINE AND THE WEBSITE, TO FACT CHECK STORIES, ATTEND EDITORIAL MEETINGS AND PARTICIPATE IN THE LIFE OF THE ORGANIZATION. INTERNS MAY APPLY FOR AN ADDITIONAL SIX-MONTH FELLOWSHIP; FELLOWS OFTEN DO LONGER, MORE IN-DEPTH INVESTIGATIVE PIECES. EVERY ISSUE OF THE MAGAZINE AND DAILY CONTENT UPDATES ON THE WEBSITE CONTAINS REPORTING AND BLOG ENTRIES DONE BY OUR FELLOWS. INTERNS AND FELLOWS WORK ON A FULL-TIME, 37.5-HOUR PER WEEK. INTERNS AT MOTHER JONES RECEIVE A $1,000 PER MONTH STIPEND WHILE THEY ARE IN TRAINING. CONTINUING FELLOWS RECEIVE A $1,400 MONTHLY STIPEND. THE LEVEL OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT IS MODEST, BUT THE FACT IS THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE VERY FEW PAID INTERNSHIPS IN THE NATION FOR THIS KIND OF TRAINING. EDUCATION REPORTING (FORMERLY WIRETAP):MOTHER JONES' EDUCATION REPORTING AND THE FAST TIMES AT MISSION HIGH PROJECT ADDRESSES WHAT WE SEE AS A DANGEROUS DISCONNECT BETWEEN EDUCATION REFORM AND EDUCATION REPORTING. WHILE MOST EDUCATORS AGREE THAT IT TAKES TIME AND MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS TO MAKE A SCHOOL SUCCEED, BUDGET AND TIME-STRAPPED EDUCATION NEWS COVERAGE OFTEN CAN'T DELIVER MORE THAN AN ANECDOTE OR A QUOTE ON THE RESEARCH DU JOUR. ONE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE OF THIS PARACHUTE REPORTING IS THAT EDUCATION REPORTERS OFTEN WRITE WHAT THEY EXPECT TO WRITE, SINCE THE STUDENTS AND TEACHERS THEY QUOTE DON'T TRUST THEM ENOUGH TO DISCUSS MORE CHALLENGING, INTERESTING TRUTHS. AFTER READING WONKY, PARACHUTE-REPORTING EDUCATION REFORM STORIES, THE PUBLIC THEN BELIEVES ONE OR TWO CHANGES-PARTICULARLY AROUND TEACHERS' UNIONS OR STANDARDIZED TESTS-WILL "FIX" OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.WE BELIEVE THERE'S A BETTER WAY TO REPORT ON EDUCATION REFORM: FROM INSIDE A SCHOOL OVER TIME. MOTHER JONES REPORTER KRISTINA RIZGA HAS BEEN EMBEDDED AT MISSION HIGH SCHOOL IN SAN FRANCISCO SINCE 2010. THE RESULT IS CLASSROOM ACCESS SO RARE THAT ONE VETERAN EDUCATION REPORTER REFERS TO THE FAST TIMES AT MISSION HIGH STORIES AS "THE HOLY GRAIL OF EDUCATION REPORTING."PEACE & NATIONAL SECURITY REPORTING:MOTHER JONES' HAS BEEN REPORTING ON PEACE AND NATIONAL SECURITY SINCE OUR INCEPTION IN 1975. MOST RECENTLY WE HAVE FOCUSED OUR COVERAGE ON THE INFLUENCE OF PRIVATE MILITARY CONTRACTORS (PMCS) ON DEFENSE PROCUREMENT, DEFENSE POLICY, AND THE CONDUCT OF MILITARY OPERATIONS IN AFGHANISTAN; ON WATCHDOG COVERAGE OF US INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES, WITH A SPECIAL FOCUS ON EFFORTS TO BROADEN CIVIL LIBERTIES PROTECTIONS FOR THOSE BEING HELD AT GUANTANAMO AND ELSEWHERE; THE IMPACT OF A REPUBLICAN MAJORITY CONGRESS ON DEFENSE AND INTELLIGENCE BUDGETING AND POLICIES; ON PROGRESS TOWARDS A NEW START TREATY; AND ON THE LIFE IN - AND AFTER - THE MILITARY.ANGOLA 3 REPORTING:JAMES RIDGEWAY'S HAS SPENT THE LAST FEW YEARS PROVIDING INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING AND COMMENTARY ON THE ANGOLA 3. THE ANGOLA 3 WERE CONVICTED OF THE 1972 MURDER OF A PRISON GUARD AT THE LOUISIANA STATE PENITENTIARY AT ANGOLA. TO THIS DAY THEY MAINTAIN THEIR INNOCENCE AND BELIEVE WERE TARGETED FOR THE CRIME AND RELEGATED TO PERMANENT LOCKDOWN BECAUSE OF THEIR ORGANIZING WORK WITH THE PRISON CHAPTER OF THE BLACK PANTHERS. THE JULY/AUGUST 2011 ISSUE OF MOTHER JONES FEATURES AN EXTENSIVE PROFILE OF BURL CAIN, THE INFAMOUS WARDEN OF THE LOUISIANA STATE PENITENTIARY AT ANGOLA. IN ADDITION TO COVERAGE SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO THE ANGOLA 3, RIDGEWAY HAS BEGUN TO FOCUS MORE BROADLY ON THE LARGER HUMAN RIGHTS DEBATE AROUND SOLITARY CONFINEMENT PRACTICES IN AMERICAN PRISONS. THE MEDIA CONSORTIUM:THE MEDIA CONSORTIUM IS A NETWORK OF THE COUNTRY'S LEADING INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM ORGANIZATIONS. THE MEDIA CONSORTIUM SUPPORTS SMART, POWERFUL AND PASSIONATE JOURNALISM THAT REDEFINES AMERICAN POLITICAL AND CULTURAL DEBATE. THE MEDIA CONSORTIUM IS CREATING A SOLID COOPERATIVE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WILL SERVE A 21ST-CENTURY AUDIENCE AND OFFER A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR INDEPENDENT MEDIA. MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE LOOKING FOR HONEST, FAIR, AND ACCURATE JOURNALISM-THE MEDIA CONSORTIUM IS FINDING NEW WAYS TO REACH THEM. ITS STRATEGY HAS THREE FOCAL POINTS: MAKING CONNECTIONS, BUILDING INFRASTRUCTURE, AND AMPLIFYING OUR VOICE.THROUGHOUT THE PAST YEAR, THE MEDIA CONSORTIUM SET THE AGENDA TO HELP DOZENS OF MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS BEGIN ANSWERING THESE QUESTIONS. IN 2010, THE MEDIA CONSORTIUM HELPED ITS MEMBERS TO:-EVOLVE FOR A CHANGING MEDIA LANDSCAPE. THROUGH A RANGE OF PROGRAMS, INCLUDING THE MEDIA CONSORTIUM'S INCUBATION AND INNOVATION LAB; A PARTNERSHIP WITH MOZILLA'S PEER TO PEER UNIVERSITY, AND THE RELEASE OF OUR INVESTING IN IMPACT REPORT, WE HAVE HELPED MEDIA CONSORTIUM MEMBERS NAVIGATE AND LEARN ABOUT NEW STRATEGIES AND TRENDS, EXPERIMENT WITH NEW OPPORTUNITIES AND TOOLS, DEVELOP RELATIONSHIPS WITH EXPERTS ON THE CUTTING EDGE OF TECHNOLOGY, AND FOSTER INNOVATION THAT WILL FURTHER THEIR OVERALL IMPACT AND SUSTAINABILITY.-EDITORIALLY COLLABORATE ON A RANGE OF ISSUES AND EVENTS FOR MAXIMUM IMPACT. WE HAVE INCREASED AND LED EDITORIAL AND PROMOTIONAL COLLABORATION AMONG MEMBERS AROUND SPECIFIC TOPICS INCLUDING THE 2010 U.S. SOCIAL FORUM AND A GROUNDBREAKING, TWO-WEEK PROJECT FOCUSED ON CAMPAIGN FINANCE AND THE IMPACT OF THE SUPREME COURT'S CITIZENS UNITED RULING. MEDIA CONSORTIUM MEMBERS ALSO SELF-ORGANIZED COLLABORATIONS WITH EACH OTHER AND ADDITIONAL MEDIA ALLIES FOR PROJECTS LIKE THE CLIMATE DESK AS WELL AS A COLLABORATION AROUND THE 2009 COPENHAGEN CLIMATE CONFERENCE, DUBBED THE COPENHAGEN NEWS COLLABORATIVE.-EXPAND AUDIENCES AND BUILD CORE INFRASTRUCTURE. THE MEDIA CONSORTIUM CONTINUES TO PROVIDE AND INCREASE ONGOING CORE SUPPORT FOR ITS MEMBERS THROUGH ITS MEDIAWIRES, INDEPENDENT MEDIA INTERNSHIPS (IMI) AND MEMBERSHIP PROGRAMS. THE MEDIAWIRES PROGRAM HAS CONTINUED TO BUILD THE AUDIENCES FOR AND IMPACT OF MEDIA CONSORTIUM MEMBERS' REPORTING ON HEALTH CARE, THE ECONOMY, THE ENVIRONMENT, AND IMMIGRATION. IN ITS SECOND YEAR, THE IMI PROGRAM OFFERED KEY EDITORIAL SUPPORT TO ITS MEMBERS AND ON-THE-GROUND TRAINING FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF JOURNALISTS. THE MEDIA CONSORTIUM MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM IS RECRUITING NEW MEMBERS WHO REPRESENT THE CHANGING MEDIA LANDSCAPE, AND WORK TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL EDUCATION, COLLABORATION, AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR MEMBERS. MEDIA CONSORTIUM PROJECTS AND INITIATIVES ARE A KEY PART OF THE ONGOING PUBLIC CONVERSATION ABOUT THE EVOLUTION OF JOURNALISM. IN 2010, MEDIA CONSORTIUM STAFF PRESENTED ITS WORK AND FINDINGS ABOUT THE EVOLVING MEDIA LANDSCAPE TO FUNDERS, OTHER JOURNALISM NETWORKS, AND TO DOZENS OF JOURNALISTS AND MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS AT BOTH CONFERENCES AND PRIVATE MEETINGS.
