The popular and historic magazine, The Atlantic, has launched a new, weekly digital publication for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

The purpose of The Atlantic Weekly is to collect that work into a weekend guide to how the world is changing, and to where that change might take us.In addition, in each issue of The Atlantic Weekly, the publishing team notes that it will also "include a story drawn from our 155-year-deep magazine archive, a piece of great writing that we believe can advance readers' thinking today, as it did when we first published it." The first issue of The Atlantic Weekly offers Henry Thoreau's "Walking," which first appeared in the magazine in 1862. For now, The Atlantic Weekly is ad-free, though readers do have to pay in order to access the publication. The magazine will be published 48 times per year, and, as outlined in its release notes, the subscription cost for The Atlantic Weekly is:
