Our verdict on The New Yorker
The New Yorker is a weekly magazine and digital publication from Condé Nast, covering subjects including news, politics, culture, arts and science through reporting, criticism, fiction, humor and cartoons. It suits readers who want long-form magazine journalism alongside audio, with access on the web and iOS and Android apps. A subscription includes unlimited digital articles, weekly magazine issues in the app and access to the online archive. Non-subscribers have limited access to online articles, so the full reading experience is for paying subscribers.
The subscription choices include 4-Week Digital, Annual Digital and Annual Print + Digital. The digital plans include digital access; the print-and-digital plan adds the print edition. According to the vendor's pricing information, Annual Digital has a regular rate of $160 per year. A seven-day trial is available. These options make the distinction between digital reading and receiving print straightforward, though there is no free plan or bundle access. Readers who want print should choose the combined plan rather than a digital option.
The product's appeal extends beyond articles: subscribers can read issues offline in the mobile app, save stories for later, listen to audio narrations and podcasts, and solve crossword puzzles. Apple Podcasts and Google News are listed integrations. That mix is a fit for readers who want a magazine's reporting and culture coverage in more than one format, especially on mobile. It is less suited to someone seeking a free publication or a subscription bundle. Readers primarily interested in print can opt for print plus digital, while those focused on digital access can choose either digital plan.
