About The New Yorker Magazine: Readers of The New Yorker are curious about everything the world has to offer. When they become interested in a topic, they want to learn all about it. They are intellectual networkers, launching new ideas and shaping public opinion. And New Yorker readers are "culture-preneurs" - the people who actively define the cultural scene. The New Yorker publishes weekly, except for five combined issues that count as two in February, June, July, August and December and other combined issues, as indicated on the issue's cover.
