Seymour M. Hersh has written for iThe New Yorker/i since 1971. He has won numerous awards including the Pulitzer Prize for his investigations into the My Lai massacre, and is the author of eight books, including iChain of Command/i. The legendary John McPhee, on staff since 1965, teaches writing at Princeton. Jerome Groopman is a Harvard Medical School professor and the author of over 150 scientific articles. His latest book, iThe Anatomy of Hope/i, was a best-seller. br clear= "all"br strongfont face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="cc6600"Magazine Layout:/font/strongbr iThe New Yorker/i is a readers' magazine. Articles range from short Talk of the Town pieces to in-depth explorations of politics and world affairs. Short reviews of restaurants, movies and the arts in Goings On About Town can be quickly skimmed, while, at the back of the book, longer, richer reviews of selected books, plays and movies can be read at a more leisurely pace. And the dozen or so cartoons in each issue offer their sheer wit and entertainment. br clear= "all"br strongfont face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="cc6600"Comparisons to Other Magazines:/font/strong br iThe New Yorker/i offers the long-form journalism that has all but disappeared in today's media landscape. New Yorker writers are not bound by daily deadlines, and it is not uncommon for them to spend months working on an article. Nor are the writers constrained by a mandated point of view. They are free to follow a story wherever it leads. br clear= "all"br strongfont face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="cc6600"Advertising:/font/strong br Advertisers include financial service companies, car-makers, luxury goods purveyors, hotels, publishers, and arts events. Small ads throughout the magazine offer a boutique-style shopping experience for everything from customized jewelry and Panama hats, to expedition ship cruises and villa rentals. br clear= "all"br strongfont face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="cc6600"Awards:/font/strong br iThe New Yorker/i is the most-honored magazine in publishing history. It has won 48 National Magazine Awards, the magazine world's equivalent of the Oscars. Its contributors have won many of the major awards, including The Nobel prize and The Pulitzer prize. In 2008, two of the Pulitzer-Prize winning books included work that originally appeared in iThe New Yorker/i: iThe Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao/i by Junot Diaz won the fiction prize and iTime and Materials/i by Robert Hass won for poetry. /b /div br clear= "all"br strongfont face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"Amazon.com Review:/font/strong br Founded in 1925, iThe New Yorker/i hardly changed for its first 60 years, both in its dry, type-heavy design and in its reputation as a writer's and reader's haven. In 1987 it was on only its second editor when management decided to shake things up. A rocky decade ensued, but iThe New Yorker/i is now back at the top of its game under David Remnick's editorship. Each issue offers commentaries and reporting on politics, culture, and events, with a focus that's both national and international; humor and cartoons; fiction and poetry; and reviews of books, movies, theater, music, art, and fashion. Several times a year special issues focus on a theme--music, fashion, business. The writing is mostly first-rate, frequently coming from top literary and journalistic talents. iThe New Yorker/i's weekly issues can seem overwhelming--so much good stuff to read, piling up so fast!--but it's as easy to dip in for a small snack as it is to wade in for a substantial meal.i --Nicholas H. Allison/i

Sandra A. Tellers (san francisco, ca)
Long time subscriber to the New Yorker but they upped their price and tried to automatically charge my credit card so I was happy to find it cheaper here on amazon.
Awesome writing August 18, 2008
Daniel Vilceanu
I really enjoy this magazine. I read it for a while online and I decided to try a subscription for one year. In a couple of months I became addicted to it. I added one more year to my subscription when I got a good deal. It is amazing how some very common things are described in such beautiful words. This is an art.
