The Atavist Magazine is an American publication based in Brooklyn, New York. It features longform and investigative journalism. It was founded in 2011, through Silicon Valley funding by Jefferson Rabb, Evan Ratliff, and Nicholas Thompson. In 2018 the paper was bought by Automattic, who currently owns it.
The Atavist Magazine is unique as instead of publishing multiple articles, every edition of The Atavist only has one longform story. Despite being a magazine, The Atavist Magazine does not have a physical form, instead sending each edition through email, which is sent monthly.
