Jamie Thompson and Josh Tyrangiel Joining The Atlantic as Staff Writers
As The Atlantic continues a major expansion of its editorial staff, today editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg is announcing that award-winning journalists Jamie Thompson and Josh Tyrangiel will both become staff writers. Jamie has been a contributing writer for The Atlantic and will join the staff next week. She won this year's National Magazine Award for reporting for the March 2024 cover story, 'To Stop a Shooter,' about the Parkland shooting and the systemic failure by America's police forces to properly train their officers to confront mass shooters––and a society in denial about what it would really take to stop such tragedies. Ahead of joining staff in a few months, Josh had his first piece for The Atlantic published this morning: a romping profile of Anthony Weiner's attempted political comeback as he runs for New York's city council. From the lead: 'The last time we saw him, we saw all of him. Our subject is Anthony Weiner, whose surname was a burden long before it became a curse—so fused with his disgrace that you can't say it without triggering an avalanche of cringe.' Below is Jeffrey's note to staff announcing these hires: Dear everyone, I'm writing this morning with excellent news. Two of journalism's most esteemed talents are joining The Atlantic as staff writers: Jamie Thompson and Josh Tyrangiel. It should go without saying, but I'll say it anyway: This is a big day for our magazine and our ambitions. I'll introduce them in alphabetical order, though for most of you, Jamie, who is already a contributing writer, needs no introduction: Her brilliant cover story for us, 'To Stop a Shooter,' was the recipient of this year's National Magazine Award for Reporting. (In her second article for us, an equally ambitious and accomplished piece of reporting, Jamie embedded with the Prince George's County Police Department's carjacking unit.) Jamie's brave, adventurous, and savvy reporting, her embrace of society's deepest complexities, and her ability to write about the most challenging characters and morally vexing issues with depth and fairness make her a perfect fit for the staff of The Atlantic. Even before winning one of the prestigious prizes in journalism, Jamie was already known as one of the best writers on criminal justice issues in America. She is the author of Standoff: Race, Policing, and a Deadly Assault That Gripped a Nation, which grew out of a story she wrote for The Dallas Morning News, which won the Edward R. Murrow Award for Excellence in Writing. Jamie began her career as a newspaper reporter in South Carolina and Florida (where she was part of a legendary crew at The Tampa Bay Times), before transitioning to writing magazine features; in addition to her work for us, she has written for, among other places, Texas Monthly, D Magazine, Politico, The Washington Post, and The New York Times Magazine. She has also been an associate professor of journalism at the University of Dallas. She will be working out of the Wharf, and her first day on staff with us is May 5. Now, onto Josh, who is new to The Atlantic (his first piece for us, about the return of Anthony Weiner, is up on the site this morning), but he is certainly among the most esteemed and well-known journalists in our country. Josh is a person of immense talent and range, and across his legendary career, he has led extraordinary journalism organizations through extraordinary times. Josh is joining us to write mainly at the intersection of technology, AI, and government policy, though (as you will see in the Weiner piece) he can write fluidly, and wittily, about most anything. Josh is the former editor of Bloomberg Businessweek and served as the chief content officer for Bloomberg Media, where he oversaw media operations across five continents. He is widely, and appropriately, credited for reinventing Businessweek. He created Vice News Tonight on HBO and has produced feature-length documentaries for HBO, Netflix, and Apple TV+. He served as executive producer (alongside Oprah Winfrey) of ABC's AI and the Future of Us, and he has won 12 Emmys and Peabody Awards for his work. Josh began his career at Vibe magazine, and then went on to fruitful employment at Time magazine. Most recently, Josh wrote a regular column for The Washington Post focused on AI. He continues to produce documentaries and is currently writing a book for Simon & Schuster about ways in which AI can be used for the common good. He will be based at Prince Street, and he will start on our staff this summer. This is a good day for The Atlantic. Please join me in welcoming Jamie and Josh to our team. Best wishes, Jeff The Atlantic has announced a number of new hires since the start of the year, including managing editor Griff Witte; staff writers Tyler Austin Harper, Isaac Stanley-Becker, Nick Miroff, Ashley Parker, Missy Ryan, Michael Scherer, and Caity Weaver; senior editors Jenna Johnson and Dan Zak; and contributing writers Jonathan Lemire and Alex Reisner. Please reach out with any questions or requests. Press Contact: Anna Bross, The Atlantic | press@ Article originally published at The Atlantic

Toxic culture
Non-fiction novel Girl on Girl: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves by Sophie Gilbert has hit the shelves. Sophie discusses how an inflection point in the late 1990s and early 2000s has turned the 'women empowerment movement' into a toxic and objectifying culture that pits them against each other in the entertainment industry, and how it affects women today. 'Unfortunately, today's popular culture is in thrall to the idea of women fighting and will fan the flames of conflict whenever possible,' Sophie said in an interview. 'On any given day, countless TikTok commentators parse the (often imaginary) details of celebrity rivalries. 'Influencers form girl gangs with their own ornate hierarchies. 'Trends such as 'Pick Me vs Baddie' and 'That Girl' underscore the idea that women exist in permanent opposition to one other, and must bring each other down in order to thrive,' she added. The London-based writer focuses her articles on TV, books, pop culture and entertainment. She won the National Magazine Award in 2024 for Reviews and Criticism, and was 2022 finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Criticism.
