The Atlantic (until 2007 formally The Atlantic Monthly) is an American magazine and multi-platform publisher. It features articles in the fields of politics, foreign affairs, business and the economy, culture and the arts, technology, and science.

Ownership

Laurene Powell Jobs, one of Kamala Harris' best friends & major donor - with her friend Ghislaine Maxwell - who is serving 20 years for child-sex-trafficking. Six months before Maxwell's conviction, the Atlantic, owned by Powell Jobs, published the article The Great (Fake) Child-Sex-Trafficking Epidemic.

In 1980, the magazine was bought by Bilderberger and chairman of the Israel lobby group Presidents Conference, Mortimer Zuckerman, a property magnate and founder of Boston Properties, who became its chairman. On September 27, 1999, Zuckerman transferred ownership of the magazine to David G. Bradley, owner of the National Journal Group, which focused on news of Washington, D.C., and government. Bradley had promised that the magazine would stay in Boston for the foreseeable future, as it did for the next five-and-a-half years.

On July 28, 2017, The Atlantic announced that billionaire investor and "philanthropist" Laurene Powell Jobs (the widow of former Apple Inc. chairman and CEO Steve Jobs) had bought majority ownership through her Emerson Collective organization, with a staff member, Peter Lattman, being immediately named as vice chairman of The Atlantic. David G. Bradley and Atlantic Media retained a minority share position in this sale.

Editorship

Jeffrey Goldberg, previously a prominent writer for the magazine and described as "Netanyahu's faithful stenographer", was named editor-in-chief in October 2016.

Censorship

On the morning of 13 April 2026 The Atlantic published an article by Idrees Kahloon entitled An Oligarchy of Old People - How elderly Americans amassed disproportionate wealth and power. This noted that "Half of all the money donated to political campaigns comes from Americans age 66 and older". By April 15th the article had been removed from the website, although not from the Internet Archive.
