My family is a @TheAtlantic family. My wife and I read it. My 12 year-old son reads it. We have favorite sections and writers and articles. It is an essential part of our lives and our minds and our conversations. You can subscribe here: accounts.theatlantic.com/products/
From mission statement:
“The Atlantic will be the organ of no party or clique, but will honestly endeavor to be the exponent of what its conductors believe to be the American idea....endeavoring always to keep in view that moral element which transcends all persons and parties.”

From a history of @TheAtlantic by former managing editor Cullen Murphy, in ‘94:
“[Martin Luther] King sent a handwritten draft to us, written behind bars, of what would come to be known as his ‘Letter From Birmingham Jail,’ which we published in 1963.” amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/30…

“The Battle Hymn of the Republic, that canticle of national righteousness, first appeared in our pages, and we paid Julia Ward Howe the princely sum of $4 for it.”
