Her handling of Signalgate has impressed me (the approach seems Katharine Grahameqsue -- "run what you've got"), as has the overall coverage that looked to be faltering last fall. I've not run into a questionable story from The Atlantic this year, so this is something of a bright spot in the industry.
Per the articles comments she takes the exact right approach to media owning "I don't get involved", hire good responsible editor, give enough resources to do even deep investigative stuff and leave journalists to do their job. Subscriptions follow from good credible journalism then.
Provide umbrella of "you can't threaten the editor with firing or lawsuit", since she won't fire the editor and the company has enough resourcing to fight of law suits with good legal team.
