Monika Bauerlein
Editor-in-Chief
Monika and her coeditor, Clara Jeffery, have headed Mother Jones since 2006. The two women were honored with a National Magazine Award for General Excellence for their rookie year. Since taking the helm, they have expanded the bimonthly magazine into a full-on, 24/7 news organization, opening a seven-person Washington bureau headed by David Corn, hiring blogosphere pioneer Kevin Drum, and relaunching MotherJones.com.
Monika started out in journalism by typing other people's manuscripts on archaic word processors and researching politics for a Middle Eastern helicopter merchant. She wrote for a range of newspapers, magazines, and public radio programs before joining City Pages, the Village Voice sister paper in Minneapolis/St. Paul; in her eight years at Mother Jones, she has focused on developing political and investigative reportage. She lives in Oakland with her husband and their three children.
