Mother Jones and The Center for Investigative Reporting announced plans on Thursday to merge as one nonprofit news outlet, to take effect early next year.
Both organizations were founded around the same time — Mother Jones in 1976 and Cir a year later — and they have, through the years, produced joint reporting projects. Both are based in San Francisco, and Mother Jones has offices in New York and Washington, D.C.
The two organizations will combine their newsrooms, and production will continue on the Mother Jones magazine and website and the Reveal radio show and podcast. The organization also will continue to create video and documentary film productions.
Monika Bauerlein will serve as CEO of the organization, and Robert J. Rosenthal, who has been CEO of Cir, will serve as CEO emeritus. Clara Jeffery editor in chief of Mother Jones, will lead the combined newsroom, and Al Letson will continue as host of Reveal.

"In most families, the danger doesn't come from some stranger – danger comes from someone you already know..." Shudder has unveiled the trailer for a horror anthology film titled Horror Noire, a showcase of six different stories of Black horror. "Six stories, one film. Experience the next chapter of Black horror." This is a spin-off feature inspired by the outstanding documentary with the same title: Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror (which I highly recommend watching). The six stories featured in the anthology are titled: Daddy, Bride Before You, Brand of Evil, The Lake, Sundown, and Fugue State. The casts include Lesley-Ann Brandt, Luke James, Erica Ash, Brandon Mychal Smith, Sean Patrick Thomas, Peter Stormare, Malcolm Barrett, and Rachel True, among many others. With new and adapted stories by Tananarive Due, Steven Barnes, Victor Lavalle, Shernold Edwards, Al Letson and Ezra C. Daniels. I'm always down for more creative horror!

It was a big day for AMC at the Television Critics Association winter press tour.
The event was virtual, which has become the norm in the industry due to the pandemic, but there was a wealth of news across the AMC Networks banner.
AMC dropped our first trailer of Kevin Can F**k Himself, featuring Schitt's Creek's Annie Murphy, and it did not disappoint.
Kevin Can F*** Himself probes the secret life of a type of woman we all grew up believing we knew: the sitcom wife.
Kevin Can F*** Himself looks to break television convention and ask what the world looks like through her eyes.
Alternating between single-camera realism and multi-camera comedy, the formats will inform one another as we imagine what happens when the sitcom wife escapes her confines and takes the lead in her own life.
The cast also includes Eric Petersen (Kirstie) as the titular cable guy,...
