The New Yorker
Iconic American periodical
The New Yorker is a weekly American magazine known for literary journalism, cultural criticism, fiction, poetry, and cartoons.
Founded in 1925, it established a style of urbane, carefully edited longform writing that influenced American journalism.
I read a fascinating piece in The New Yorker.
The magazine's single-panel cartoons are a cultural institution.
A New Yorker is also simply a resident of New York.
