New York Magazine

New York Magazine is a seminal American biweekly publication that focuses on life, culture, politics, and style, with a particular emphasis on New York City. Founded in 1968 by Milton Glaser and Clay Felker as a competitor to The New Yorker, it was designed to be more brash and connected to the immediate energy of the city. Over the decades, it has expanded its digital footprint through highly successful vertical brands such as Vulture (entertainment), The Cut (style and self), Intelligencer (politics and tech), and Grub Street (food).

The magazine's history is marked by various shifts in ownership, reflecting the changing landscape of American media. After being part of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp and later Henry Kravis's K-III Communications, it found a long-term home under the chairmanship of Bruce Wasserstein and later his family. Today, it operates as a prestige title within a larger digital-first media conglomerate, maintaining its editorial voice while leveraging a massive global online audience.

Technically, the print edition is primarily manufactured and distributed within the United States. Its current ownership by Vox Media represents a significant consolidation in the modern media era, pairing one of the most respected legacy print brands with a digital-native powerhouse to ensure its longevity in a shifting advertising and subscription market.
