Mother Jones Adds 7

A newsroom expansion that comes thanks to an influx of donations

As newsrooms from The New York Times to ProPublica to Mother Jones benefitted from an influx of subscriptions and donations that were inspired by the 2016 election, a question arose: what would newsrooms do with those extra funds? For ProPublica, the answer was jobs. For Mother Jones, the answer is jobs.

The publication announced today the hire of seven new staffers, made possible by record donations that followed the election. “We are incredibly grateful for the surge of reader support that has allowed us to expand our newsroom at such a crucial time for investigative journalism,” said CEO Monika Bauerlein in a statement.
