Vanity Fair has a very serious team of people doing long-form narrative journalism, having laid claim to much of the best talent from the late '90s-era Atlantic Monthly.

Unfortunately, the magazine itself is an unreadable mess of advertising and perfume samples.

Thank you for answering a question I'd had for some years now, as to how VF became a source of serious long-form journalism.

Ah, I wondered why The Atlantic had taken a bit of a hit the last few years, they are still pretty great but back then they were amazing.

This is why god gave us Instapaper.
