Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting founder Jeff Cohen once said, If its in the New York Times today, it was probably in Mother Jones six months ago (4). Contrary to what one might believe, the staff at Mother Jones thoroughly enjoy their status as the magazine the media giants get their breaking stories from. They are happy to have their stories picked up and distributed around the globe, and have been for over thirty years, though the magazine itself has grown considerable from its humble beginnings in the mid-1970s. Through its impact on other media as well as through its own audience, Mother Jones seeks to inform and inspire a more just and democratic world (4) and, for a magazine that has proudly called itself radical, muckraking, and counterculture from the beginning, has been wildly successful (9).
