I feel like The Atlantic has really declined. Every once in a while they'll put out something interesting, but for the most part their entire model appears to be writing for an aging population who is scared of change in the world.
There was a sudden, sharp decline in quality about a decade ago, at the time when they started putting provocative and inaccurate headlines on the front cover. I think they actually tried harder than many other magazines to adapt to the Internet era, but they bungled the transition. When my subscription ran out, I did not renew.
