Editorial Calendar

Mother Jones produces revelatory journalism that, in its power and reach, seeks to inform and inspire a more just and democratic world.

Editorial Background

Mother Jones is the nation's foremost investigative magazine examining current environmental, social, political, and cultural issues. Consequently, it is impossible to predict stories a year in advance. Mother Jones does not publish an official editorial calendar, however, as an alternative we provide these editorial highlights as a guide. The editorial line-up for each issue is published via email approximately two weeks prior to the advertising space reservation deadline for each issue. All stories below are subject to change; our priority is timeliness.
