Mother Jones merges with Center for Investigative Reporting

Two US not-for-profit news organisations have merged: Mother Jones and The Center for Investigative Reporting.

Mother Jones CEO Monika Bauerlein will be in charge of the new group.

The CIR’s Reveal radio show and podcast and its documentary films, such as The Grab, will continue, a press release stated.

Bauerlein said: “This is a moment of tremendous urgency for journalism and for democracy. By merging, we can shine a light into more dark corners, and reach more people with investigative reporting on the issues that matter most.”
