Atlantic Media's Douglass Holds $1M Dinner for DNC

Atlantic Media exec Linda Douglass held a $30,400 per plate dinner for the Democratic National Committee at her home in Dupont Circle this evening.  Attended by POTUS, the fundraiser was expected to raise $1 million dollars for the DNC, according to pool reports.   Though some NJ staffers have expressed concern that she is so obviously partisan, Douglass does not have any apparent editorial influence over the organization.

Now the VP overseeing communications for National Journal and The Atlantic, Douglass was a journalist for ABC and CBS News before joining the Obama Administration for a year in 2009.
