They are very similar publications, but I'm not sure which one is "dumbed down" relative to the other. Instead, there is a lot of variation within each magazine. Some articles are brilliant examples of "long form" journalism which sometimes later get expanded into entire books, others are puff pieces, and yet others (like this article) are somewhere in between.
- 3pt14159 4y agoAs someone that dated an Atlantic contributor (as well as her being the senior editor over at The Walrus, Canada's answer to The New Yorker) I can very clearly give you an answer here: The Atlantic is great, but it is in no league with The New Yorker. I wouldn't have called it "dumbed down" but it's still not as sharp and that is ok. The world appreciates both.
- beckingz 4y agoYeah the Atlantic has clearer writing. The New Yorker has 'better' writing, but I can't stand it.
