Has Move Damaged The Atlantic?
"The magazine's long-time claim to fame has been erudite literary nonfiction that 'breaks ideas,' as correspondent James Fallows put it in Cambridge. Today, though, the Atlantic seems drier, wonkier, more focused on grabbing readers (and advertisers) by following the stories of the day, and less interested in examining subjects no one else is talking about. And while the move from Boston doesn't deserve all the credit -- or blame, depending on your perspective -- for this change, there's reason to think the magazine's relocation is playing a major role."
