The Atlas, Issue 5, Page 3. Editor's note: A newspaper called The Atlas needs a great map. Ours is also our contents page, showing where in the world we are reporting from each week. The map is designed according to the Equal Earth Projection, by illustrator Yemsrach Yetneberk.
A world map with numbered markers showing where The Atlas has reported from, above an introduction to the newspaper and a table of contents. The introduction describes The Atlas as a newspaper about the planet and its people, with no paywalls or logins. The contents list stories from cities and countries including Shanghai, London, Delhi, Cholpon-Ata, Havana, Johannesburg and Tehran, as well as features on the Dalai Lama, the Pope, drones, AI and global events.

The Atlas, Issue 5, Page 1. The cover is the highest-stakes page of any newspaper. It's the first impression. Words, images and the cover story itself all have to come together. Get it right, and it's iconic. Get it wrong and no one reads all the great journalism inside.
Cover of The Atlas, a newspaper, dated 24 September 2026, Issue 5. The headline reads “Soul Searching: Silicon Valley, the Vatican and the fight over the meaning of life.” The cover features a vintage-style illustration of a person praying in front of a church confessional, overlaid on red computer code, symbolising the intersection of technology, religion and spirituality.
