The New Yorker magazine has been around for almost 100 years and has been famous for the length of its articles almost as long. Tina Brown, the editor in the 1990s famously made the articles shorter than they had been, and it hasn’t crept back up since she left. All this to say, sure, the article is long. But the New Yorker always has done it this way and this is not anything about the media lately. If anything, long articles are a holdover from a long previous time. Also, all media styles and don’t have to appeal to everyone. The magazine has its audience and you may not be a part of it. Neither aspect is a bad thing.
