New Yorker The Magazine

Pros: In depth analysis of a variety of topics.

Cons: Writing styles are varied (which may be positive)

The Bottom Line: It's worth the price if only for the information about weekly events in New York City

Review: 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...

Pros: Great cover art

Cons: Too snobbish for my taste

The Bottom Line: Check it out. It's not for everyone but just may be to your taste.

Pros: Informative and enlightening

Cons: NONE

Review: Where do you go when you want to be enlightened, informed, and amused? Why--it's to The New Yorker magazine!

While browsing through my favorite bookstore I picked The New Yorker. I was absorbed immediately. It features short...

Pros: Excellent writing, movie reviews and music reviews

Cons: I wish I had more time to read everything.

Review: 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...

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...

Review: 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: Great cartoons, good fiction, knowledgeable movie reviews, still-enjoyable Talk of the Town

Cons: Political coverage weaker than in years past

Review: The New Yorker ain't cheap, but it's a magazine that I come back to again and again. My subscription seldom lapses for long. I preferred the magazine in its pre-Tina Brown days, but it's still one of the best reads on the newsstand. The fiction and...

Pros: Poetry, cartoons and articles

Cons: Hard to get through quickly

Review: 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: Funny cartoons, Great articles , good price

Cons: The editors have become more conservative, not as much debut fiction

The Bottom Line: If you want to become a well-read person, this is the place to start. Reading it increased my SAT and MCAT verbal scores, plus the experience is enjoyable.

Review: I always take time off every Wednesday to read my New Yorker. This magazine continues to impress me every week, every esoteric topic become intriguing when written by superb writers. The cartoons are both funny and meaningful. I think the New Yorker...

Pros: Wide range of issues covered

Cons: Still recovering from Tina Brown

Review: After the infamous years under Tina Brown's "editorship" it's nice to see the New Yorker returning to it's traditional roots: good articles. Perhaps the flash is gone, the glitz, the hype, but rest assured the real New Yorker is back.

...

Pros: Fascinating from cover to cover

Cons: Can't keep up with all the issues!

Review: 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...
