The Complete New Yorker (1925-2005)

ISBN: 9781400064748
New York, NY, USA: The New Yorker, 2005. First Edition. Hardcover. “Ever since the rise of digital technology and the Internet, more and more readers of The New Yorker have written to us complaining that the only access they have to a complete set of past issues of the magazine—more than four thousand since the first, in February 1925—is on microfilm or in bound volumes at an unusually well-stocked library.” David Remnick (b. 1958) has held the position of editor of The New Yorker magazine since 1998, and his decision to digitize their archive for the modern consumer was a stroke of genius. The popular magazine has been a pillar in the print media industry for nearly a century, holding on to the shrinking demand for print over digital media with the grip of a venerable institution. As a “serious magazine, with a distinctive humorous tone and a commitment to facts,” The New Yorker’s popularity has fluctuated with the events and developments in the culture, but their commitment to their cause never wavered. With the production of this DVD archive, Remnick reached both the completist die-hard collectors along with a new generation of readers that are conditioned for bingeing digital content. The contents of this collection are “eight disks that contain every page—every cover, every piece of writing, every drawing, listing, newsbreak, poem, and advertisement—published in [their] eighty years.” You must have a Windows computer in order to install the database program; it will not work on a Mac.
