Top Industry Award Nomination Caps Year of Record Growth for Mother Jones

2014 was a year of record growth for Mother Jones. The national investigative news outlet saw a 70 percent increase in traffic overall and its social audience grew 41 percent over the previous year. MoJo nabbed 16 top industry awards and nearly 40 nominations, including a just-announced National Magazine Award nomination for General Excellence.  In the last several years, MoJo has reinvented itself from a bimonthly print publication (200,000 circulation) to a 24/7 multiplatform news outlet reaching 9 million readers a month. "We decided to take the ethos of longform investigative journalism daily and digital," says President and CEO Madeleine Buckingham. "And in so doing, perhaps no magazine has better demonstrated how the internet can enable a niche publication to grow into a serious player in the news ecosystem." Today Mother Jones has a staff of 75 employees in three offices across the nation. Its mix of diversified revenue streams includes support from 40,000 individual donors--among the largest donor groups of any nonprofit news outlet--circulation income, and advertising, which saw an 8.7 percent increase in sales in 2014.  It was also a year of game-changing journalism for Mother Jones. Highlights include: Breaking the story of child migrants fleeing Central America and crossing the US border, news that has culminated in an executive order from President Obama.  An in-depth investigation into the safety of BPA-free plastics sparked an expansive industry review.  A Harvard School of Public Health study on MoJo's mass shootings database confirmed that the incidents have tripled in frequency since 2011.   A multimedia investigation and documentary on the emerging fracking boom in China, screening at film festivals in 2015.  The launch of Inquiring Minds, one of iTunes' most popular science podcasts. "We've managed to combine solid journalism and continuous innovation," says Co-Editor Clara Jeffery, "Our audience responds to--and shares--journalism that is both fresh and first-rate; we look forward to producing more of the same in 2015." Mother Jones welcomes story editor Marianne Szegedy-Maszak and reporter Pema Levy to its DC reporting bureau this month.    2014: A Year of Record Growth for Mother Jones

The Conservation Center >Conserving a Lilliputian Battleship Model; Shedding New Light on an Ed Paschke Painting; and More

 

The Conservation Center  Conserving Art Coast to Coast  January 2015 Newsletter The Conservation Center would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year, and genuinely hope that 2015 brings goods tidings to you all. The freezing winds have blown some very interesting projects our way this January. In from the Robert R. McCormick Museum, we treated a wooden model replica of a WWII naval cruiser. Affixed with tiny, brittle flags and a plethora of unstable, toothpick-sized parts that should ideally move and operate like those on a real ship, our conservators had their work cut out for them to get this piece in working condition. Also, we thoroughly examined a relatively unknown Ed Paschke piece titled Yellow Lady from the early days of his career. Through the process, our conservators unearthed some valuable details about the painting. Finally, The Conservation Center welcomes Patience Yvette Marmer to our team as Vice President of Client Services. We are positively thrilled to have her on board!  Holy Kreuzer Konigsberg!  Conserving a Lilliputian Battleship Model Whether massive in size or delicate in material, many projects taken on by The Conservation Center pose unique challenges for our team of expert conservators. Recently, the Robert R. McCormick Museum located in Wheaton, Illinois, brought us a curious object from its collection: a wooden model replica of a naval cruiser named the Kreuzer Konigsberg, commissioned during the WWII era. The amount of detail and veracity in the ship's execution is staggering. However, upon closer examination, the model--which measures a miniscule 15" wide, 3" depth, 6" high--was found to be in poor condition, with broken segments throughout and worthy of a thorough cleaning and treatment effort.  The fate of the Kreuzer Konigsberg > Hello Pretty "Yellow Lady":  Shedding Light on an Ed Paschke Painting  Well before Matt Groening's Marge Simpson character became a pop icon, artist Ed Paschke (1939-2004) created his own version of a Yellow Lady in 1969. While only minor conservation was needed for this vibrant painting, the private collector knew very little about its history, causing us to reach out to the Ed Paschke Foundation and even the artist's daughter, Sharon Paschke. Neither was familiar of the piece's existence, and Sharon, especially, was excited to see a new example of her father's early work. In order to discover more about this very special Yellow Lady, we studied the canvas under ultraviolet light and found some surprising details. With these new findings, The Conservation Center was able to shed new light on this painting for its owner as well as the Paschke family.   Bring on the black light! > The Conservation Center Welcomes  New VP of Client Services: Patience Yvette Marmer The Conservation Center is excited to welcome a new member to our team: Vice President of Client Services, Patience Yvette Marmer. Patience, along with Co-VP of Client Services, April Hann-Lanford, will be responsible for overseeing a team of account associates who manage current client relationships for The Center. Patience comes to The Conservation Center equipped with the skills necessary to further enhance an already amazing Client Services division. We are thrilled to have her on board!  More on Patience > More News From The Conservation Center * Save the Date! * ALTEREGOS// Artists From The Conservation Center Packer Schopf Gallery 942 W Lake Street Opening Reception: Friday, February 20, 6:00-9:00pm The Conservation Center is pleased to announce the opening of its first staff art exhibition.

Who is this Marguerite and what is Historica Clothiers?

Introducing: Margaurite - she's so much more than just a coat...   What's old isn't new; it's timeless! New Chicagoland-based clothier brings the historical elegance of the 18th century through the 1940s into practical, stylish, fashions for 21st-century men and women.   The designers at Historica Clothiers have a mission: creating fashion that's not just something to wear, but an experience that people want to share. "Clothing is about staying covered, fashion is how we identify ourselves and romanticize our lives. That same romanticism is what draws peoples to historically-inspired movies and vintage styles," says Nicole Allen, Historica's founder and lead-designer. Allen felt that the time was ripe for what she calls "historically-inspired, modern clothing". The concept is not to be tied to any particular era but rather to draw inspiration across history to create contemporary clothing that has historical flare and elegance, without reading as costume -- a way to address the decided lack of dress clothes that have flare and romance. As a professionally trained fashion designer, 3-D digital designer, lighting artist and the creator of a successful, international historical costuming company (www.revivalclothing.com   ) she founded in 2002, Allen herself is particularly well-suited to blending the old with the new and the elegant with the funky to create coherent, new designs.  "Many hobbies such as historical reenactment or Steampunk [a movement of Victoriana spiced up with Jules Verne-esque gizmos] are really just one more way that modern people try creatively expressing themselves in a world of black cocktail dresses and ill fitting jeans. At the same time, for years, people who would never be caught dead in a "costume" have stopped me on the street to say 'I love what you are wearing, but I could never dress like that.' Well, no one gave me permission!"So Historica gives its patrons "permission", complete with options, inspiration and confidence to express themselves sartorially. Allen launched the company earlier this year via the Indiegogo crowdfunding site: See http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/historica-clothiers-timeless-fashion-inspired-by-the-past/x/5772077     Drawing on the flare and romance of past eras and bringing it into a contemporary line of dress clothes, the innovative product line currently consists of four men's and four women's fashions,  each with a personalized name and a storyline as a way to invite patrons into to another world. But, Allen says, "the real point is for you to make it your own, and create your own story.” To show off that potential in each piece our models are real people we invite to dress up with our clothes as they see fit - from high heals and hats to jeans and kilts. ​ Historica is excited to offer well-made, tailored garments, that can fill an unanswered demand for original designs whose styling stands out without being so flamboyant to look out place in everyday settings. It is almost equally proud of being able to do this in all-female business whose production is centered entirely in Chicago -- ensuring both high quality and fair wages for all involved. In short, the company seeks to be as unique as the products it produces.  Says Allen, "Our take away message is simple: You don’t need permission. Don’t dress like everyone else; step out of the mold and bring a new level of creativity, style and FUN to your personal image!"
