Summarized from more than one independent rater, including AllSides and Ad Fontes Media. We do not rate outlets ourselves.
A non-profit investigative magazine founded in 1976 and named after the labor organizer Mary Harris Jones. It is now published by the Center for Investigative Reporting and funds itself largely through reader donations rather than advertising.
Supporters credit it with investigative work on money in politics and corporate influence that few outlets have the patience to fund. Critics argue its choice of targets is consistently one-directional, and that donor-funded journalism answers to donors in the same way advertiser-funded journalism answers to advertisers.
