Summary
The Atlantic is an American magazine and multi-platform publisher based in Washington, D.C., featuring articles on politics, foreign affairs, business, culture, technology, and science. Founded in Boston in 1857 as The Atlantic Monthly by Francis H. Underwood and prominent writers like Ralph Waldo Emerson and Harriet Beecher Stowe, it began as a literary and cultural magazine discussing significant issues such as education and the abolition of slavery. The magazine, which published an annual almanac in the 19th and 20th centuries, transitioned from a monthly to publishing 10 issues per year in 2003, officially dropping "Monthly" from its cover in 2004 and its name in 2007. Businessman David G. Bradley purchased The Atlantic in 1999, repositioning it as a general editorial magazine for national readers and "thought leaders," and in 2017, sold a majority interest to Laurene Powell Jobs's Emerson Collective. The Atlantic has received significant accolades, including being named Magazine of the Year by the American Society of Magazine Editors in 2016, and winning awards for general excellence in 2022, 2023, and 2024, with its writers also winning Pulitzer Prizes for feature writing in 2022. By 2024, the magazine had surpassed one million subscribers and achieved profitability, a notable turnaround after a period of financial difficulty. As of 2024, Adrienne LaFrance serves as executive editor, Jeffrey Goldberg as editor-in-chief, and Nicholas Thompson as CEO. In a notable incident, Jeffrey Goldberg, as editor of The Atlantic, was inadvertently added to a secret group chat discussing military action, raising concerns about operational security and compliance with the Federal Records Act.
