The New Yorker Magazine

The New Yorker is an iconic American weekly magazine featuring journalism, commentary, criticism, essays, fiction, satire, cartoons, and poetry. It was first published in February 1925 by Harold Ross and his wife Jane Grant. Over the decades, it has evolved into one of the most influential cultural and literary publications in the world.

While originally founded as a local humor magazine for 'Manhattanites,' it quickly achieved national prominence. The magazine is primarily edited and produced in New York City and printed within the United States for its domestic circulation. Its reputation is built on high-quality long-form journalism and its distinct front-cover illustrations.

Ownership transitioned from the original founders to the Newhouse family's media empire in 1985. Today, it is a flagship title under Condé Nast, which is a global media company. Condé Nast itself is a division of Advance Publications, a private family-owned corporation headquartered in the United States.
