The Atlantic appeared to have the right ingredients for a successful 21st-century publication: strong journalism, a thriving digital operation and the enthusiastic backing of a multibillionaire, Laurene Powell Jobs.
But on Thursday the 163-year-old publication announced that it would lay off 68 employees, or 17% of its staff, evidence that even the most robust media businesses are vulnerable to the crisis that has ravaged news organizations nationwide.
The announcement followed a burst of layoffs in the news media business last week: 155 jobs lost at Vice, 100 at Condé Nast, 90 at The Economist, 80 at Quartz. The cuts at those companies and publications came in the wake of a free fall set off by the coronavirus pandemic, which has cut deeply into advertising revenue.

Oh, they could work for Microsoft.

#LockdownFakeNewsMSM.
They did reconsider them. And they still liked them.
Pretty dumb to wipe out the revenue of your readers by killing their businesses in the cities. Look at the map. The lockdown is wiping out blue areas as the red areas open up. Of course we knew they were dumb. And it is self inflicted. Craziest thing I’ve seen.

Ha ha!
The atlantic was a leftist rag hiding behind expensive, professionally-designed covers. It pretended to be the most sophisticated of them all, carrying articles on the front lines of maniacial leftist thought.
In reality, it was the highbrow equivalent of Mad Magazine.
I hope to see its demise within the next few months.
I actually like some of their articles...but yea, still Left-Wing!
