Laurene Powell Jobs, Widow of Apple Founder, Buys The Atlantic Magazine

David Bradley will retain operational control of the publication.

The Emerson Collective, the organization founded and run by Laurene Powell Jobs, has bought a majority stake of The Atlantic magazine. Jobs is the widow of Apple founder Steve Jobs. David Bradley, the magazine’s current owner, will hold a minority stake and retain control of the publication’s operations for the next three to five years. “While I will stay at the helm some years, the most consequential decision of my career now is behind me: Who next will take stewardship of this 160-year-old national treasure?” Bradley, who is nearing 70, wrote to employees. “To me, the answer, in the form of Laurene, feels incomparably right.”
