The Atlantic

The Atlantic's live cultural commentary has won numerous awards over the years. Articles like “What if the Allies lost World War I?” and “To write a good essay, think and care deeply” are good examples. The Atlantic magazine made great is a combination of informed imagination and impeccable research. The Atlantic is not a news magazine because its best reporting is not on what happened last week but what could happen next week. That's a huge generalization, of course, since they also delve into past issues. They look deeply and imaginatively into the direction in which current events may take us. The Atlantic's writers analyze a piece of pop culture each week, uncover the big questions that great art can elicit, make some recommendations for you, and enjoy a little fun. Have fun while learning.

You can access all of Atlantic's online content for free (with some non-intrusive advertising). The Atlantic is mostly balanced, always topical, and well-edited. It gives non-Americans a more mature view of what's going on in America and it has a lot of content that stimulates the mind of a world citizen. The Atlantic is also light and thoughtful and engages you more in conversation than in lectures, so it's well-regarded for providing a wealth of knowledge without being too dogmatic.
