Title

  • The Atlantic

Summary

  • "The Atlantic is an American magazine, founded in 1857 as The Atlantic Monthly in Boston, Massachusetts. Since 2006, the magazine is based in Washington, D.C. Created as a literary and cultural commentary magazine, it has grown to achieve a national reputation as a high-quality review organ with a moderate worldview. The magazine has notably recognized and published new writers and poets, as well as encouraged major careers. It has published leading writers' commentary on abolition, education, and other major issues in contemporary political affairs. The periodical has won more National Magazine Awards than any other monthly magazine. The first issue of the magazine was published on November 1, 1857. The magazine's initiator and founder was Francis H. Underwood, an assistant to the publisher, who received less recognition than his partners because he was 'neither a 'humbug' nor a Harvard man'. The other founding sponsors were prominent writers, including Ralph Waldo Emerson; Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.; Henry Wadsworth Longfellow; Harriet Beecher Stowe; John Greenleaf Whittier; and James Russell Lowell, who served as its first editor. After experiencing financial hardship and a series of ownership changes, the magazine was reformatted as a general editorial magazine. Focusing on 'foreign affairs, politics, and the economy [as well as] cultural trends', it is now primarily aimed at a target audience of serious national readers and 'thought leaders'. In 2010, The Atlantic posted its first profit in a decade. In profiling the publication at the time, The New York Times noted the accomplishment was the result of 'a cultural transfusion, a dose of counterintuition and a lot of digital advertising revenue.'" -- Summary retrieved on October 7, 2019 http://dbpedia.org/resource/The_Atlantic
