Boston Phoenix
How has the Atlantic's departure from Boston changed the magazine? Boston-based media critic Adam Reilly's view: "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 [in 2005] 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."
