James Bennet
Under Bennet’s leadership from 2006 to 2016, The Atlantic dramatically increased its editorial reach and impact while returning to profitability for the first time in recent history. Adweek and Ad Age named him editor of the year in 2012 and 2009 respectively, and the magazine was honored with the National Magazine Award four times during his tenure, including magazine of the year and best website, for TheAtlantic.com. A former White House correspondent and Jerusalem bureau chief for The New York Times, Bennet is also the president of the American Society of Magazine Editors.
