Meh, Atlantic is more pop/bloggy writing. The New Yorker is actual journalism. I think the Atlantic is just fine, but you can hardly say that the New Yorker is "trite" and "mediocre" compared to The Atlantic!

"Trite and mediocre"? The New Yorker? Are you sure you're thinking about the right magazine, and not New York Mag?

I can think of a lot of reasons to dislike parts of the New Yorker (cartoons, "humor" pieces, etc) but there's pretty much nothing that compares to it in terms of long-form journalism these days.

Because there are very few sources for solid long-form journalism anymore. I don't love it all, but they have some amazing writers.

New Yorker is mediocre, but you like People?

I love the New Yorker! (And I am a New Yorker.) I love the articles and cartoons.

I often like the cover art but it is boring and cringeworthy AF.

I find it so trite and mediocre. Why is it considered so high brow?
