On behalf of everyone at Mother Jones, we’re delighted to share our 2010-11 annual report with you. While reflecting on the highlights of the last two years, one word kept resonating in our mind: connected. Since our first issue in 1976, Mother Jones has sought practical yet innovative ways to make our delved into the regulatory mess that allowed the spill to happen in the first journalism accessible to interested readers. In 1993, for example, we became place, and Julia Whitty investigated the scientific and ecological impact of the the first general interest national magazine to launch a website, while more spill. This collaborative effort earned big kudos from our friends in the media recently we’ve pioneered the use of social-media sites like Twitter to break industry: Stories related to the BP spill won awards from the Sidney Hillman stories, galvanize readers, and deliver real-time updates. As this report makes Foundation, the Society of Professional Journalists-Northern , and clear, Mother Jones has evolved into a truly multimedia organization with the Online News Association. unprecedented reach. Although accolades are gratifying, the real measure of success is how Nothing illustrates this better than perhaps the biggest story of 2011: the our journalism impacts readers. In that regard, 2010 and 2011 were explosion of social protest around the world. In our March/April 2011 issue, benchmark years. Pageviews to MotherJones.com increased by 88 percent we featured a series of 11 charts and graphics illustrating America’s dramatic year-over-year, while we saw gains of greater than 200 percent on social income inequality.

This was a time not only of protest at home, but also of upheaval throughout the Middle East.

Mother Jones’ reporting had an impact on national and international debates, as well as the nation’s legislative agenda, throughout 2010 and 2011. Some examples of how MoJo reporting made waves—and headlines:
