President Trump wrote The Atlantic off as a "dying" magazine last week after it published an explosive story about him allegedly disparaging Americans who died in war.
But not only is the 163-year-old magazine far from extinction, it is experiencing a rapid and unexpected growth in subscriptions. Since introducing a paywall a year ago, The Atlantic has added 325,000 paid subscribers. More than 20,000 of those new subscribers signed up just over the past weekend after The Atlantic published Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg's now viral article, "Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are 'Losers' and 'Suckers.'"
