The Atlantic Launches New Politics Section and Preps for a Slew of Hires
It's tripling political staff.
The realization of a plan to move open-to-the-public coverage of politics from National Journal to The Atlantic, announced back in October by Atlantic Media chairman and CEO David Bradley, begins today with the launch of new politics section and a new 2016 election feature called 2016 Distilled.
Making a comeback today is The Edge, a daily, politics-oriented newsletter, which moves to The Atlantic from its old home at the National Journal.
The site launch is the first part of The Atlantic’s plan for its expansion of political coverage, the seeds of which began with the October 2015 creation of a Washington bureau at The Atlantic, led by bureau chief Yoni Appelbaum.
A major component of that expansion plans extends to The Atlantic’s political reporting staff, which will triple in size this year.
