Some cool news that runs counter to so many trends in media. After a nice run of journalistic and economic success, we’re increasing the number of print issues each year. We’ll once again be The Atlantic monthly … cnn.it/3BDwE5X

The Atlantic is expanding its print magazine as it surpasses 1 million subscribers | CNN Business

The Atlantic is doing something exceedingly unusual for a magazine in 2024: increasing the number of issues it prints.

"We want to maximize the amount of money that comes to serious journalism companies. We want to shape the industry in the best possible direction based on our values ... We want to bring in as many readers as we possibly can." @nxthompson on Decoder: theverge.com/2024/7/11/24196…

"Today, the 167-year-old publication is profitable and its newsroom is growing." A good story on what we have been up to here at @TheAtlantic. wsj.com/business/media/how-t…

How the Atlantic Went From Broke to Profitable in Three Years

The publication’s new chief executive raised subscription prices, and moved away from day-to-day news coverage to focus on deeply reported stories with broad appeal.

Dug into the world of abortion pill "reversal" for Wired wired.com/story/abortion-pil…

What Abortion Pill ‘Reversal’ Really Accomplishes

It’s more than an unproven medical treatment—it’s a view into the antiabortion movement’s larger project.

wired.com/story/child-influe… My article for @WIRED on how safeguarding and privacy laws need to be updated to protect "child influencers" has gone live. Thanks to @Rickithegirl for this wonderful opportunity, it's been an absolute joy to work with you!

Nothing Is Protecting Child Influencers From Exploitation

Social media accounts featuring kids are more popular than ever. But labor and privacy laws haven't been updated to safeguard the young stars.

My latest for @Wired: "When police dragged off a 17YO Nebraska girl and charged her and her mother with self-administering a miscarriage, they were armed with damning documents that they could only access through the incompetence and cooperation of Meta." wired.com/story/facebook-mes…

Does BeReal offer us a much-need reprieve from "Instagram fatigue"? In today's @WIRED @ysabelgerrard and I argue that it's unlikely. wired.com/story/bereal-doome…

BeReal and the Doomed Quest for Online Authenticity

The buzzy “anti-Instagram” app is the natural next step in a social media cycle that’s played out many times before—and it’s unlikely to work.
