Pros: Excellent Production, Vast Coverage of a Vast World
Cons: Some pharmaceutical ads beginning to appear.
=============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...

Pros: In depth analysis of a variety of topics.
Cons: Writing styles are varied (which may be positive)
Since the last review of The New Yorker on Epinions was over six years ao in 2001 it seems time to review it again. This review will address two major issues about the magazine: what has changed and what remains. One major change is that the magazine ...

Pros: If you leave it on the coffee table an illiterate buffoon might mistake you for an intellectual. Definite snob appeal.
Cons: If you leave it on your coffee table you might get bored enough to actually read the damn thing. I did.
Recently I subscribed to The New Yorker after not having read it for years. Back when I was in my early twenties and not earning a lot of money I wished I could afford to buy it every week but only got an occasional issue as a treat. Unfortunately the...

Pros: Poetry, cartoons and articles
Cons: Hard to get through quickly
Call me a snob, but I love this magazine. I used to read my Dad's when he would get it, but for years I got away from it. Recently at work, I struck up a conversation with someone about it. I took a bunch of back issues that she was going to throw...

Pros: Superb features, excellent reviews, outstanding fiction, amusing covers
Cons: Really none
Last summer, a doctor who regularly contributes articles to The New Yorker, wrote one on nausea. Like many New Yorker pieces, this was one long article, about 10 pages if I recall correctly.
I could not put it down. The sun set, the spouse,...

Pros: Simply the Best - funny, smart, topical
Cons: Occasionally self-important and dull
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 of...

Pros: Excellent writing, movie reviews and music reviews
Cons: I wish I had more time to read everything.
What a combo: The best articles of any magazine in the U.S., great movie reviews, and hip music reviews. What else do you want?
I've read the New Yorker for at least 14 years. It has become less stodgy, but it still contains the best stuff from the...

Pros: Fascinating articles on real subjects, great reviews, great cartoons, great editorial slant.
Cons: Weak fiction and poetry.
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,...

Pros: Much more than great cartoons!
Cons: It's a challenge to read it all before next week's issue arrives
When I was a small child visiting my well-heeled grandparents in Portland, Oregon, a few of the latest issues of The New Yorker were inevitably displayed on the antique coffee table, along with Business Week and the occasional Sunset. I would grow bored...

Pros: Benchmark, user-friendly, cutting-edge, concise and La Creme De La Creme
Cons: Difficult to get published there...No e-mail submissions...Don't be afraid of rejections...They are learning tools...
Whether they want it or not, writers can say they make it once they are published by the New Yorker, a literary powerhouse. This is not a question of money here. It is rather a matter of literary prestige. Then money may come through your world-wide...

Pros: diversity, arts coverage, fiction
Cons: supposedly funny cartoons really *not at all* funny
I run to my mailbox every Tuesday in anticipation of the New Yorker -- a dazzling combination of politics, movie reviews, theater notes, book commentary and great fiction. There have been weeks when I was disappointed, but very few, in my 3 years of...

Pros: Everything
Cons: There's only fiction issue a year
About five years ago, my dad, a former New Yorker saw an commercial advertising subscriptions to the New Yorker magazine. The subscription was originally for him, and while his name still appears on the cover every week, we renew it each year as much...

Pros: Weekly, intelligent
Cons: Lengthy Articles
When I was growing up the framed covers of The New Yorker that lined the walls of my father’s stairway always fascinated me. He, having grown up just outside of New York City, found The New Yorker to be his literary return to his home. Every week it...

Pros: Fascinating from cover to cover
Cons: Can't keep up with all the issues!
The New Yorker is justifiably famous for it's cartoons. Hilarious and provocative, they are the first thing that I look at when reading The New Yorker. Fortunately, there is so much more in this magazine that, despite coming out practically every week,...
