A Century of Literary Excellence: The New Yorker Turns 100

For a hundred years, The New Yorker has been more than just a magazine—it's been a cultural institution that has shaped American intellectual discourse, storytelling, and journalism. Founded on February 21, 1925, by Harold Ross, the publication has consistently pushed boundaries in reporting, fiction, and cultural criticism.

Throughout its remarkable century, The New Yorker has been home to some of the most influential writers of our time. Legendary contributors like E.B. White, James Baldwin, Dorothy Parker, and John Updike have graced its pages, creating a legacy of exceptional literary and journalistic work.

Key milestones in the magazine's history include:

Pioneering long-form investigative journalism
Publishing groundbreaking fiction by emerging and established authors
Introducing iconic cartoon illustrations that became cultural touchstones
Providing nuanced political and cultural commentary

Under the leadership of current editor David Remnick, The New Yorker has successfully navigated the digital transformation, maintaining its prestigious reputation while adapting to modern media consumption habits. Its online platform and podcast network have expanded its reach to younger, digitally-native audiences.

As it enters its second century, The New Yorker continues to represent the pinnacle of thoughtful, in-depth journalism and literary expression—a testament to its enduring relevance and commitment to intellectual excellence.
