The Atlantic is an American magazine and multi-platform publisher based in Washington, D.C., covering topics such as politics, foreign affairs, business, culture, technology, and science. Founded in 1857 in Boston as The Atlantic Monthly, it has a rich history of publishing influential writers and significant works. In 2017, Laurene Powell Jobs’s Emerson Collective acquired a majority stake in the publication.
Recently, on March 15, 2025, The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, was inadvertently added to a private group chat among top Trump administration officials.
This chat contained detailed plans for a U.S. military strike against Houthi rebels in Yemen, including specifics about targets, weaponry, and timing. The inclusion of Goldberg in this conversation has raised significant concerns regarding national security protocols and information handling.
