Getting to know each other.

Two peas in a pod.   [Mother Jones]( MoJo Reader, Hi! Kate Howard here, and I’m thrilled to be writing to you as a new member of the Mother Jones community. I’m an editorial director with [Reveal](, the investigative podcast and radio show from the Center for Investigative Reporting that’s been changing lives through impactful journalism for 10 years now. And in case you missed [the big news](, we officially joined forces with Mother Jones to bring fact-based, in-depth journalism to people who are hungry for trustworthy reporting wherever they get their news. It's such an exciting time around here, and today, I wanted to officially invite you to [sign up for]([The Weekly Reveal]([newsletter](, so you can see why MoJo and Reveal are two peas in a pod. Every Saturday morning, you’ll get the backstory on our latest episode—plus additional resources and context, because you deserve the full picture. We’ll also let you know about new projects and include updates on [the real-world impact]( of our reporting, because that’s what we’re all here for. To make a difference. This weekend, we’ll introduce you to a Russian soldier who risks everything to escape the war in Ukraine—and a group of Russians operating the underground operation to encourage more soldiers to defect. In the weeks and months to come, we’ll continue to immerse you in the beating heart of some of the moment’s biggest stories: from pregnant women in Gaza recording their own experiences, to Native American families confronting a tribal police force that disappears before they can be held accountable. [Signing up for]([The Weekly Reveal]( is an easy way to make sure you don’t miss our team’s in-depth reporting—that can be lost in the shuffle of the daily chaos, and is too rare in today’s media landscape. I can hardly think of a time when staying informed matters more than it does right now—especially when it comes to independent journalism like ours that exists to reveal uncomfortable truths and hold the powerful accountable to make the world a better, more equitable place. It’s essential. If you agree, and you value the reporting you get from Mother Jones, I know you’ll love the audio storytelling and journalism we send to you each week in The Weekly Reveal. [Sign up today]( and you’ll hear from me Saturday. We’re beyond grateful to be able to do reporting that can be put to use creating change, and I think I can speak for all of us on the Reveal team: We’re over the moon to have a new home at Mother Jones. As we get to know our new colleagues better, they say such amazing things about you—people who expect better from journalism, and help make it possible in ways big and small. Thank you for believing in us and our shared mission. [I hope you’ll give]([The](Weekly Reveal]([a shot today](. And thank you for reading my note. I know your inbox is full! Speaking of: If you have anything to share with me and the Reveal team as we join the MoJo community, and enter this exciting new phase, you can drop us [a line here](. I hope you will.
