I think the point is just that The Atlantic has a consistent history of platforming culture wars stuff over hard-hitting reporting from their (mostly incredibly sharp) staff. JS is consistently given covers while others like Ed Yong get relegated to smaller spaces!

Fair point. One of the things that keeps me subscribing though is that I often get hit with a piece/writer I honestly just wouldn’t have read otherwise that I end up being really into. There was a piece on Lyme Disease of all things a few months back that was just... the best.
totally agree + agree re their covid coverage: it's been incredible. i do also think it's a bit unfair to say there should have been a cover on pandemics last year (although i guess ed *did* predict it). i just think they should start valuing that great work over pieces like JS's
