The Atlantic is one of the few print magazines to which I still subscribe. Having been around for 150 years, The Atlantic has a developed a keen sense of America's history and translates that sense into cogent and readable analysis of today's events. The Atlantic covers politics, culture, media, the arts, technology, and a bit of business. They tend to take a fairly progressive point of view but have certainly been known to be hawkish and/or somewhat conservative in some of their writings. Overall, I highly recommend The Atlantic as a magazine for active, pragmatic thinkers who want to engage in the world today.

The Atlantic is Harpers' slightly-more-political, somewhat-less-literary, not-completely-liberal, longer-winded cousin. I like 'em both.
