In great news for schools, for education, for research, for the free exchange of ideas, for corporate altruism and philanthropy, The Atlantic announced yesterday that all public high schools will be give 100% free digital access to the magazine and its nearly 140 years of archives.
I am tremendously excited about this new offering, and I have already signed up the library-media center at the high school where I work. The Atlantic is an exceptional resource for long-form journalism, and the archives are an opportunity for students to explore criticism and essays reaching back to the time of Henry Thoreau and his fellow Transcendentalists.
Thank you to the ownership and editorial team of this esteemed institution of the Fourth Estate.
Starting today, The Atlantic is offering every public high school in the United States free digital access to its journalism and 168-year archive. All public high schools and districts can register with The Atlantic to give their students, teachers, and administrators unlimited access to TheAtlantic.com while on campus at no cost: all articles, full magazine issues, podcasts and audio articles, Atlantic Games, and the complete archive.
The Atlantic is already widely used as a teaching resource and read by millions of educators and students––and its archive contains landmark essays from many of history’s greatest writers and thinkers. This new offering removes financial and technical barriers for public high schools and introduces The Atlantic’s journalism to new generations of readers. Since launching an academic group subscription in July 2023, The Atlantic has enrolled more than 200 colleges, universities, and high schools in this program, reaching more than 1.2 million readers.
