History
Bradley began his foray into publishing by purchasing the National Journal Group in 1997[5] and added The Atlantic four years later. After first vowing to leave the magazine in Boston he moved the headquarters to Washington in 2005, losing several senior members of the editorial staff in the process.
In July 2009 reports[6] of sponsored gatherings at the home of Washington Post publisher Katharine Weymouth prompted Bradley to publish a lengthy personal letter defending Atlantic Media's long-standing practice of hosting off-the-record, corporate sponsored salons.[7]
