Maybe OT: I'm impressed by this piece of content! Impressed, because as a millennial, not paying-for-content content-consumer, I barely can find such in-depth texts, being sophisticated in finding the truth of the matter* and presenting it to the public. The author basically seems to have been given the space of todays cover-stories and the freedom of a columnist using it to swim against the current in a nation-wide publicized high-profile medium.
This piece might have been scanned to be archived, but to be read and understood by modern consumers, it might have been better to convert it into a BuzzFeed-Style Top-10-List :-(
* not implying that he's correct, but he's seems to be honest
- kwhitefoot 11y agoMost media don't carry articles like this anymore even if you do pay. The Atlantic is one of the few exceptions. Up to the 1970s even the gutter press in the UK would print long articles, not generally as temperate as this one of course, but still expecting the reader to spend more than thirty seconds reading it. Now it's mostly either soundbites or recycled (in some case within the same article) with no editing, not even a grammar check. But guess which media outlet gets the most page views, it's not The Atlantic of course but the UK Daily Mail.
