comment
The New Yorker is a weekly literary, cultural, and news magazine published in New York City by print media giant Condé Nast. Since its debut on February 21, 1925, it has produced more than 4,000 issues. Its website features more expansive content, including videos, podcasts, and additional short news articles that did not get published in the print edition.The magazine has gained a reputation for being both painfully highbrow (or high-middlebrow, at least) and politically liberal, and for devoting a significant portion of its contents to cultural and lifestyle explorations of New York and its environs. However, despite these characteristics it is read widely by non-New Yorkers, and is recognized throughout the United States as a kind of shorthand signifier of metropolitan and urbane sensibilities, similar to broadcasting's NPR and PBS.The New Yorker is also renowned for its iconic cover art, as well as the short fiction, essays, poems, and one-panel cartoons that are included in every issue.It is also noted for its long nonfiction articles, such as John Hersey's 31,000-word piece on the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, which was published as the only article of the August 31, 1946 edition of the magazine.In 2016 it spun off a one-season video series called The New Yorker Presents, available via Amazon Prime and offering a format not entirely unlike the magazine's, presenting short segments covering a variety of topics and using the magazine's iconic cartoons as intermissions.

Logo Joke: For decades it was traditional for the magazine to commemorate its anniversary each February by reproducing Rea Irvin's iconic cover illustration from the inaugural issue, shown above. However, in recent years the anniversary issues have featured new cover art that re-imagines or parodies the original. (Examples here◊, here◊, here◊, here◊.)

Caustic Critic: Many of the magazine's arts critics were of this type, including possibly the most caustic of them all, Pauline Kael. Richard Brody, one of the current (as of 2023) film critics, dismissed Whiplash for having the gall to have a main character worship a jazz drummer derided as not being actually jazz with a "Buddy fucking Rich".

Satire: The Borowitz Report is a comedy section of the magazine written in the style of its own more factual fare, leading to much confusion among unfamiliar readers, though there is a disclaimer at the head of every article telling the reader that it is satire.

Antiquated Linguistics

comment
Antiquated Linguistics: In addition to being sticklers for grammar and omitting needless verbiage, the magazine's copy-editing department is known for their old-fashioned stylistic choices, such as spelling out all numbers in full no matter how convoluted they are, "closed" punctuation (i.e. using way more commas and periods than what is probably strictly necessary), hyphenating words that have long dropped the hyphen in common usage (e.g. "to-day" and "teen-ager"), using outdated word spellings that are almost never used elsewhere (e.g. "focussed" instead of "focused"), and using a diaeresis instead of a hyphen (e.g. "coöperate", instead of "co-operate" or "cooperate").

Mantis Mating Meal: Frequent fodder for cartoons. From Joe Dator, the female mantis tells the male she's going to have him help her assemble some shelves between sex and killing him. Jason Chatfield once posted an uncaptioned picture of two male mantises at a cafe, one of whom was missing his head, and let the readers submit captions. For example:
