After a merger with the Center for Investigative Reporting, the magazine demonstrated muscle, ambition and multimedia finesse in tackling topics ranging from the emerging American oligarchy to historic racial injustices. With an energetic, confident presence online and an impressive roster of ambitious audio and video projects, Mother Jones continues to inform, innovate and delight.
