Atlantic Media Company · Washington, DC United States

Atlantic Media's truth is marching on. Atlantic Media Company's flagship publication, The Atlantic, was founded in Boston in 1857 by a group of writers that included Ralph Waldo Emerson, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and was the first to publish the Battle Hymn of the Republic. Consultant David Bradley bought the magazine from publisher and real-estate magnate Mort Zuckerman in 1999 and installed Michael Kelly as editor. Kelly shifted the magazine from a literary to a news focus. He was killed covering Iraq in 2003. In order to cut costs, in 2005 Bradley moved operations from Boston to Washington, DC, home of his National Journal Group, which now operates under Atlantic Media. To read the full description, subscribe now.
