Microsoft Network
In three years the sprawling Microsoft Network has launched and killed more “Web shows” than most browsers can shake a URL at, including the recently axed travel magazine Mungo Park, while popular sites produced by Paramount and Disney recently dumped their exclusive MSN contracts in favor of the open Web. Among the survivors: Slate Magazine and Sidewalk. The current lineup:

@Watercooler
CarTalk
Microsoft CarPoint
Microsoft Cinemania
CMJ New Music Now
Computing Central
Encarta Online
Microsoft Expedia.com
Expedia Maps
Getworking
Hotmail
Internet Gaming Zone
Microsoft Internet Start

Mauny’s Kitchen
The Microsoft Plaza
Microsoft Money Insider
MSBET
MSNBC
MSN.com

Microsoft MusicCentral
One Click Away
Satori

Sidewalk
UnderWire
and several International Affiliates.

This is how change happens.

One story at a time.

This investigative reporting takes time too. Months of research. Weeks of writing, editing, and fact checking—and putting together the photography, art, video, and audio that tell the stories in a new way, illuminating new perspectives and voices.

We can afford to take our time because we don’t report to oligarchs or corporations. We report to you, and for you.

And the stakes are high. Democracy is on the defense. We’ve been exposing corruption and scandal for five decades, and this is a pivotal moment in our country’s history. Will democracy prevail? We won’t wait for time to tell—independent journalism is essential for democracy, and we’ll keep doing our part to amplify the free press.

So, we’re asking: Will you join the fight? Mother Jones has been here for 50 years, and we need your support to fuel the future of investigative journalism. Mark our 50th anniversary with a gift of any amount.
