I have never finished an issue of the New Yorker before another issue comes out, but the two or three articles I do read tend to be amazing. It's definitely worth the steep price of admission.
I subscribed to the Atlantic recently (and won't be canceling, since they retracted the Scientology ad) and have to say that I get as much or more from their web articles as I do the print edition. I guess there's less guilt now though.
- joeguilmette 14y agoIs there a difference between the two? I always assumed that I could ignore all the web articles and assume it would magically appear on my Kindle when the new edition came out.
- fusiongyro 14y agoI always figured there was stuff in the print/digital edition that isn't on the website, but I never really bothered to check either. Guilt assuaged either way I suppose.
- greenyoda 14y agoThey haven't quite retracted it yet: "We have temporarily suspended this advertising campaign pending a review of our policies that govern sponsor content and subsequent comment threads."
- swdunlop 14y agoThat's probably because they are still trying to figure out if Scientology can sue them for breach of contract. Org lawyers are less stable than old dynamite.
- brown9-2 14y agoThe best way to finish the New Yorker is to not feel as if you need to read every article that it contains. I routinely skip the fiction pieces as I am not a big fan of short stories, and the same goes for most of the critical pieces.
- fusiongyro 14y agoOh, I don't stress about it too much. And yeah, I have no use for their fiction or poetry, but sometimes their criticism can be interesting.
