The Atlantic and Longreads have formed a partnership to bring the best of long-form journalism and short fiction -- from magazines, newspapers, books, and the Web -- to an expanded audience across The Atlantic's digital platforms. Longreads, led by founder Mark Armstrong, a former Time, Inc. editor, will retain full editorial control over the stories and pieces featured on www.longreads.com. He will work exclusively with The Atlantic on the site's sales initiatives,  product and promotional efforts.  Later this spring, The Atlantic will integrate a selection of Longreads' offerings across its digital properties -- TheAtlantic.com, TheAtlanticWire.com, and TheAtlanticCities.com -- as well as on the magazine mobile and tablet devices.
