Atlantic Media is revamping its politics coverage, and as a result, cutting staff at National Journal by 25 percent.
Changes include National Journal adopting a subscription model and The Atlantic expanding its politics content. The Atlantic’s politics editor, Yoni Applebaum, will transition to Washington bureau chief. He’ll report to TheAtlantic.com’s editor John Gould.
In a memo to staffers, Atlantic Media chairman and CEO David Bradley said the changes were necessary and will ultimately benefit both brands.
“For the last five years, The Atlantic and National Journal have been in gentle competition, with two event staffs and two advertising staffs competing in this same Washington space,” wrote Bradley.
