Intelligent, irreverent, interrogatory–and now on the Internet! The New Yorker Magazine welcomes you to this preview of our next generation. We will never abandon paper and ink (indeed you may click here to subscribe to our print edition), but it is clear to nearly everyone here at The New Yorker that the Internet, and the graphical portion thereof known as the World Wide Web, has become a valuable medium for the exchange of ideas and opinions–two things for which our writers are never at a lack!

We will be properly opened for business very shortly, but in the meanwhile, please take some time to get a sense of how we intend to bring our unique sensibility to the Internet, and of the exciting ways in which both will be transformed in the process. We trust you’ll find it smart, sophisticated and, as always, not for littleoldlady@dubuque-ia.com.
