Abstract

This case study will analyze how Mother Jones’s social and political investments shape the magazine’s reporting on vaccination issues. Mother Jones’s approach to medical issues, such as vaccination, cannot be readily categorized because each case is constructed within the context of the magazine’s established social and political values. This analysis will explain why what appears to be conflicting coverage on vaccination in Mother Jones is really just a distinctive approach to dialogue on vaccination.
