New Yorker The Magazine

The Bottom Line: A great magazine for keeping up with the arts and for the articles and cartoons. I wouldn't miss a week of it.

Review: I have been a New Yorker reader for 45 years and there were few changes in that time. Then Tina Brown came in and sparked it with flashy design and snappy content. She cut the length of the notorious maundering articles and tightened the editing. A...

The Bottom Line: It is the best magazine.

Review: =============For the first issue after the disaster at the World Trade Center, dated September 24 - the Cover had to be special. It was. It was a plain solid black with the Magazine Title, date and price.============= I cannot think of a more apt...

Review: Maybe this will be easier if I list the reasons why I love this magazine:

1. It's weekly. How the editors build such a deeply considered, timely magazine each week I have no idea, but somehow they pull it off in high style. Time and again,...

Review: The New Yorker isn't just any magazine - it is The Magazine. Despite the fact that it may or may not have only 800,000 paid subscriptions, or that it may or may not be losing a few hundred thousand dollars per year, this venerable book contains some...
