1) Magazine Magazine Mother Jones by Foundation for National Progress. Fantastic news magazine. Look forward to every issue. Have had a subscription for 2 years now.¤

2) Magazine Magazine Mother Jones by Foundation for National Progress. Great publication, 5 stars. My only comment is this: As is the case with other magazine subscriptions sold here at Amazon, it´s cheaper to just order the magazine from the publisher´s website. For example, as of yesterday (Dec. 22) the cost is $15/year through Amazon, but visit the Mother Jones website and it costs only $10. Shop around! :)¤

3) Magazine Magazine Mother Jones by Foundation for National Progress. this magazine is usually well received among progressive activists although many of us had a major problem with some coverage in the past. i won´t get to it at this time but i must say that the last one i´ve read (?May/June edition) had a very good coverage in the issue of the prison industrial complex, putting human faces behind all the build up of prisons, the absurd increase in the prison population in the U.S. by far leading in the incarceration of our people, young and old alike, the racist system we still live in, etc. also, the coverage for the issue of foreclosure was very thorough and finally shed some light on my questions regarding the reasons why, and who is responsible for this mess. check it out.¤

4) Magazine Magazine Mother Jones by Foundation for National Progress. Just got my first issue last week. They´d sent an offer for $10/year. Never heard of MJ before, but based on the reviews here, thought I´d try it. (I´m already on the hit list for all the non profits.) To give some background, I subscribe to Foreign Policy & Wilson Quarterly, and read the NY Times & Economist when I have time. While the writing quality is nowhere near FP/WQ/NYT/E, I recommend this magazine for the interesting topics it covers. In this month´s issue for example, they have a general overall theme of torture. There´s the standard article on Abu Ghraib. But they also have an interview of a solider back from Iraq and the complex mix of guilt/pride he feels. In another one they write about Fox Network´s reality TV show "Solitary" - is it torture if participants are willing? Hmmm.

RATING: 3 1/2 stars. Good content/topics, but not a fan of the overall writing style.¤

5) Magazine Magazine Mother Jones by Foundation for National Progress. I´ve subscribed to all sorts of magazines over the years including fashion, art, home decor, parenting and even a dog magazine. This is by far the best magazine out there. After I´m done reading it I feel like it was time well spent. Full of excellent writing and information.

HOWEVER, ever since I got a subscription I started receiving TONS of junk mail from all sorts of organizations like the Sierra Club, Planned Parenthood, Amnesty International, Greenpeace, other political magazines, and now with the presidential race coming up, political candidates! It´s endless. Not a week goes by that I don´t receive some sort of solicitation. If Mother Jones is going to sell my name and address to so many organizations then I think my subscription should be free (that´s why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars)!¤

6) Magazine Magazine Mother Jones by Foundation for National Progress. Mother Jones is a non-profit magazine that does investigative reporting. To borrow a concept from Hemingway, our editors and reporters have well-tuned "B.S. detectors." They share, with a lot of other people, a fundamental crankiness about bad decisions, hypocrisy, and out-and-out crimes committed by people in power. What´s fun and different is that they get to do something about it. The result is a colorful magazine packed with reporting and context that helps make sense of the news. Plus hope, compassion, and heart.
