| Mother Jones is an alternative reading magazine that mostly covers issues of minorities. It is published bimonthly and some of the regular departments are: Exposing, Media Jones, RE: Action, and Back Talk. On the March/April 2003 issue's cover was designed cleverly. The lead story that was featured on the front page was titled, "Playing for Keeps: Washington's End Game for the Persian Gulf." The graphic to go along with that was a monopoly board that is slightly skewed. In the center of the board there are oil fields and military tanks. The dice have different gas station logos instead of numbers, and the landing spaces on the board have different Iraqi problems. When a player passes "GO" you dont collect $200, but, instead, you get oil barrels. The jail area has a picture of Bush saying, "Brief stay." Following the alternative journalism style, Mother Jones is mostly personal, individual, points of view, and the articles are aggressive. |
