Clara Jeffery

Editor-in-Chief

Clara and her coeditor, Monika Bauerlein, 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. Clara has edited eight stories that were National Magazine Award finalists as well as pieces that have been selected to appear in various editions of Best American Essays, Best American Travel Writing, Best American Sports Writing, and Best American Science Writing. Before coming to Mother Jones, she was a senior editor at Harper’s; earlier in her career she worked as a writer, editor, and columnist at Washington City Paper. An alumna of Northwestern’s Medill School of Journalism, Carleton College, and Sidwell Friends School, Clara grew up in Arlington, Virginia, and now lives in San Francisco with her partner, Christopher, and their son Milo, who is named after the protagonist of The Phantom Tollbooth.
