Mother Jones Names New Editors-in-Chief

We’re happy to announce today that Monika Bauerlein and Clara Jeffery have been named the editors-in-chief of Mother Jones. Monika, who was most recently investigative editor, has been at the magazine since 2000. Clara has been deputy editor since 2002. In one fell swoop, they’ve bumped up the total of women editors in chief of “thought leader” magazines by half.

They’ll be discussing their new gig and their plans for the magazine and web site on Mother Jones Radio this Sunday. If you have questions or comments you’d like to hear them address on the air, please email host Angie Coiro at angie@motherjones.com.
