'''''New York''''' is an American biweekly magazine. Founded by [[Clay Felker]] and [[Milton Glaser]] in 1968 as a competitor to ''[[The New Yorker]]'' and ''[[The New York Times Magazine]]'', it was brasher in voice and more connected to city life, becoming a cradle of [[New Journalism]] and one of the first [[Lifestyle magazine|lifestyle magazines]]. Over time it expanded into national coverage, noted for its political reporting, arts and culture criticism, food writing, and service journalism. Since its redesign and relaunch in 2004, it has won numerous [[National Magazine Award|National Magazine Awards]], including Magazine of the Year in 2013. Its critics have twice won the [[Pulitzer Prize for Criticism]], with [[Jerry Saltz]] in 2018 and [[Andrea Long Chu]] in 2023. The magazine also diversified its online presence under the [[nymag.com]] umbrella, launching ''[[Vulture (website)|Vulture]]'', ''[[The Cut]]'', ''[[Intelligencer (website)|Intelligencer]]'', ''The Strategist'', ''[[Curbed]]'', and ''[[Grub Street]]''. [[Vox Media]] acquired the magazine in 2019 and sold it to [[James Murdoch]]‘s Lupa Systems in 2026.

==History==

===1960s=== ''New York'' was created in 1963<ref>{{Cite book |last=Kluger |first=Richard |title=The paper: the life and death of the New York Herald Tribune |date=1986 |publisher=Knopf |isbn=978-0-394-50877-1 |series=A Borzoi book |location=New York}}</ref> as the Sunday-magazine supplement of the ''[[New York Herald Tribune]]'' newspaper. The ''Herald Tribune'', then in financial difficulty, had recently been sold to [[John Hay Whitney]], and was looking to revitalize its business with an increased focus on editorial excellence, which included a relaunch of the Sunday edition and its magazine. Edited first by Sheldon Zalaznick and then by [[Clay Felker]], the relaunched magazine, called ''New York'', showcased the work of many talented ''Tribune'' contributors, including [[Tom Wolfe]], [[Barbara Goldsmith]], [[Gail Sheehy]], [[Dick Schaap]], and [[Jimmy Breslin]].<ref name="McLellan">{{Cite web |last=McLellan |first=Dennis |date=July 2, 2008 |title=Innovative editor of New York magazine |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2008-jul-02-me-felker2-story.html |access-date=October 27, 2023 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US}}</ref> The ''Tribune'' went out of business in 1966, and ''New York'' was briefly revived as part of a combined paper, the [[New York World Journal Tribune|''World Journal Tribune'']], that lasted until May 1967. Shortly after the ''WJT'' closed, Felker and his partner, [[Milton Glaser]], purchased the rights to the nameplate, backed by [[Wall Street]] bankers led by [[Armand G. Erpf]] (the magazine's first chairman, who Felker attributed as the financial architect of the magazine<ref>{{Cite news |last=Gelder |first=Lawrence Van |date=February 3, 1971 |title=Armand G.

Glaser and his deputy Walter Bernard designed and laid out the magazine and hired many notable artists, including [[James McMullan|Jim McMullan]], [[Robert Grossman (artist)|Robert Grossman]], and [[David Levine]], to produce covers and illustrations.

Within a year, Felker had assembled a team of contributors who would come to define the magazine's voice. Breslin became a regular, as did [[Nicholas Pileggi]], [[Gail Sheehy]], and [[Gloria Steinem]], who wrote a politics column. [[Judith Crist]] wrote movie reviews. [[Harold Clurman]] was hired as the theater critic, then replaced a few months later by [[John Simon (critic)|John Simon]], who became notorious for his harsh reviews.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Panero |first=James |date=2019-12-18 |title=John Simon, 1925–2019 {{!}} The New Criterion |url=https://newcriterion.com/article/john-simon-19252019/ |access-date=2024-09-10 |language=en-US}}</ref> [[Alan Rich]] covered the classical-music scene. [[Barbara Goldsmith]] wrote a series called "The Creative Environment", in which she interviewed such subjects as [[Marcel Breuer]], [[I. M.

===1970s=== Wolfe, a regular contributor to the magazine, wrote a story in 1970 that captured the spirit of the magazine (if not the age): "[[Radical Chic]]: That Party at Lenny's". The controversial and often criticized<ref>{{Cite web |title=Radical Chic Flap {{!}} Humanitarian {{!}} About {{!}} Leonard Bernstein |url=https://leonardbernstein.com/about/humanitarian/radical-chic-flap |access-date=October 27, 2023 |website=leonardbernstein.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Bonanos |first=Christopher |date=September 15, 2023 |title=Tom Wolfe's Worldview Came Into Focus In New York |url=https://www.vulture.com/2023/09/tom-wolfe-new-york-magazine-documentary-radical-wolfe.html |access-date=October 27, 2023 |website=Vulture |language=en}}</ref> article described a benefit party for the [[Black Panthers]], held in [[Leonard Bernstein]]'s apartment, in a collision of [[high culture]] and low that paralleled ''New York'' magazine's ethos and expressed Wolfe's interest in status and class.

In 1972, ''New York''{{'}}s year-end issue incorporated a 30-page preview of the first issue of [[Ms. magazine|''Ms.'']] magazine, edited by [[Gloria Steinem]].<ref name="McLellan"/> Gail Sheehy's "The Search for Grey Gardens", a cover story about the notorious [[Edith Ewing Bouvier Beale|mother]]-and-[[Edith Bouvier Beale|daughter]] Beale household of East Hampton, led to the [[Albert and David Maysles|Maysles brothers']] acclaimed [[Grey Gardens|documentary]].

As the 1970s progressed, Felker continued to broaden the magazine's editorial vision beyond Manhattan, covering [[Richard Nixon]] and the [[Watergate]] scandal closely. He also launched [[New West (magazine)|''New West'']], a sister magazine on ''New York''<nowiki/>'s model that covered [[California]] life, published in separate Northern California and Southern California editions. In 1976, [[journalist]] [[Nik Cohn]] wrote a story called "[[Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night]]", about a young man in a [[working-class]] [[Brooklyn]] neighborhood who, once a week, went to a local [[Discotheque|disco]] called Odyssey 2001; the story was a sensation and served as the basis for the film ''[[Saturday Night Fever]]''. Twenty years later, in a followup story in ''New York'',<ref>{{Cite book |last=LLC |first=New York Media |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Z-gCAAAAMBAJ |title=New York Magazine |date=December 8, 1997 |publisher=New York Media, LLC |language=en}}</ref> Cohn admitted that he had made up the character and most of the story.

In 1976, the Australian media baron [[Rupert Murdoch]] bought the magazine in a [[hostile takeover]], forcing Felker and Glaser out.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Carmody |first=Deirdre |date=January 8, 1977 |title=Murdoch Wins Magazine Fight As Felker Settles |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1977/01/08/archives/murdoch-wins-magazine-fight-as-felker-settles-fight-for-new-york.html |access-date=October 27, 2023 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> A succession of top editors followed through the remainder of the decade, including [[James Brady (columnist)|James Brady]], Joe Armstrong (who also served as publisher), [[John Berendt]], and (briefly) [[Jane Amsterdam]].

===1980s=== In 1980, Murdoch hired [[Edward Kosner]], the former editor of ''[[Newsweek]]'', to replace Armstrong. Murdoch also bought [[Cue (magazine)|''Cue'']], a [[listings magazine]] founded by Mort Glankoff that had covered the city since 1932, and folded it into ''New York'', simultaneously creating a useful going-out guide and eliminating a competitor.<ref>{{Cite news |date=April 15, 1995 |title=Opinion {{!}} Cue Magazine Paved Way for Arts Guides |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1995/04/15/opinion/l-cue-magazine-paved-way-for-arts-guides-789495.html |access-date=October 27, 2023 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Kosner |first=Edward |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=n9NDJp-jIGkC |title=It's News to Me: The Making and Unmaking of an Editor |date=2006 |publisher=Thunder's Mouth Press |isbn=978-1-56025-907-7 |language=en}}</ref> Kosner's magazine shifted the mix of the magazine toward newsmagazine-style cover stories, trend pieces, and pure "service" features—long articles on shopping and other consumer subjects—as well as close coverage of the glitzy 1980s New York City scene epitomized by financiers [[Donald Trump]] and [[Saul Steinberg (business)|Saul Steinberg]]. The magazine was [[Profit (economics)|profitable]] for most of the 1980s.<ref name=":0" /> The term "the [[Brat Pack (actors)|Brat Pack]]" was coined for a 1985 cover story in the magazine.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Dorie |first1=Amy |last2=LORANGER |first2=DAVID P |last3=Siegel |first3=Leah |date=December 28, 2020 |title=The Brat Pack: Mini-Influencers on the Internet |journal=Pivoting for the Pandemic |publisher=Iowa State University Digital Press |doi=10.31274/itaa.12227|doi-access=free }}</ref>

===1990s=== Murdoch got out of the magazine business in 1991 by selling his holdings to K-III Communications (now [[Rent Group]]), a partnership controlled by financier [[Henry Kravis]]. Subsequent budget pressure from K-III frustrated Kosner, and he left in 1993, taking over the editorship of [[Esquire (magazine)|''Esquire'']] magazine.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Kosner |first=Edward |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=n9NDJp-jIGkC |title=It's News to Me: The Making and Unmaking of an Editor |date=2006 |publisher=Thunder's Mouth Press |isbn=978-1-56025-907-7 |pages=242–244, 251–252 |language=en}}</ref> After several months during which the magazine was run by managing editor Peter Herbst, K-III hired [[Kurt Andersen]], the co-creator of [[Spy (magazine)|''Spy'']], a humor monthly of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Andersen quickly replaced several staff members, bringing in emerging and established writers (including [[Jim Cramer]], [[Walter Kirn]], [[Michael Tomasky]], and [[Jacob Weisberg]]) and editors (including Michael Hirschorn, Kim France, [[Dany Levy]], and Maer Roshan), and generally making the magazine faster-paced, younger in outlook, and more knowing in tone.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Gilpin |first=Kenneth N. |date=August 30, 1996 |title=New York Magazine Editor Who Led Redesign Is Ousted |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1996/08/30/business/new-york-magazine-editor-who-led-redesign-is-ousted.html |access-date=October 27, 2023 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> In August 1996, [[Bill Reilly]] fired Andersen from his editorship, citing the publication's financial results.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Weber |first=Bruce |date=October 20, 2008 |title=Bill Reilly, Magazine Publishing Executive, Dies at 70 |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/21/business/media/21reilly.html |access-date=October 27, 2023 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> According to Andersen, he was fired for refusing to kill a story about a rivalry between investment bankers [[Felix Rohatyn]] and [[Steven Rattner]] that had upset [[Henry Kravis]], a member of the firm's ownership group.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Pogrebin |first=Robin |date=September 29, 1996 |title=When a Magazine Is Too Brash for the Bottom Line |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1996/09/29/business/when-a-magazine-is-too-brash-for-the-bottom-line.html |access-date=October 27, 2023 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> His replacement was Caroline Miller, who came from [[Seventeen (American magazine)|''Seventeen'']], another K-III title. In part owing to the company's financial constraints, Miller and her editors focused on cultivating younger writers, including [[Ariel Levy (writer)|Ariel Levy]], [[Jennifer Senior]], [[Robert Kolker]], and [[Vanessa Grigoriadis]].<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mX6uDgAAQBAJ |title=Highbrow, Lowbrow, Brilliant, Despicable: Fifty Years of New York Magazine |date=November 7, 2017 |publisher=Simon and Schuster |isbn=978-1-5011-6685-3 |page=27 |language=en}}</ref> She also hired [[Michael Wolff (journalist)|Michael Wolff]], whose writing about media and politics became an extremely popular component of the magazine.

Moss also rehired Kurt Andersen as a columnist. In early 2006, the company relaunched the magazine's website, previously nymetro.com, as nymag.com.

''New York'' in this period won design awards at the [[National Magazine Awards]] and was named Magazine of the Year by the [[Society of Publication Designers]] (SPD) in 2006 and 2007. A 2008 cover about [[Eliot Spitzer]]'s prostitution scandal, created by the artist [[Barbara Kruger]] and displaying the word "Brain" with an arrow pointed at Spitzer's crotch, was named Cover of the Year by the [[American Society of Magazine Editors]] (ASME) and ''[[Advertising Age]]''. The next year, another cover, "[[Bernie Madoff]], Monster", was named Best News & Business Cover by ASME. ''New York'' won back-to-back ASME Cover of the Year awards in 2012 and 2013, for "Is She Just Too Old for This?" and "The City and the Storm" respectively. Design director Chris Dixon and photography director Jody Quon were named "Design Team of the Year" by [[Adweek]] in 2008.

When [[Bruce Wasserstein]] died in 2009, [[David Carr (journalist)|David Carr]] of ''[[The New York Times]]'' wrote that "While previous owners had required constant features in the magazine about the best place to get a croissant or a beret, it was clear that Wasserstein wanted a publication that was the best place to learn about the complicated apparatus that is modern New York. In enabling as much, Mr. Wasserstein recaptured the original intent of the magazine's founder, [[Clay Felker]]."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Carr |first=David |date=October 15, 2009 |title=Wasserstein's New York Magazine: A Deal Where Everyone Made Out |url=https://archive.nytimes.com/mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/15/wassersteins-new-york-magazine-a-deal-where-everyone-made-out/ |publisher=The New York Times |access-date=October 27, 2023 |website=Media Decoder Blog |language=en |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231027195355/https://archive.nytimes.com/mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/15/wassersteins-new-york-magazine-a-deal-where-everyone-made-out/ |archive-date= October 27, 2023 }}</ref> Wasserstein's children retained control of the magazine, which continued to be overseen by his deputy Anup Bagaria.<ref>{{cite web | title=Wasserstein Family Won't Sell New York Magazine | website=DealBook | date=October 22, 2009 |publisher=The New York Times Company | url=https://archive.nytimes.com/dealbook.nytimes.com/2009/10/22/wasserstein-family-wont-sell-new-york-magazine/ | access-date=September 1, 2024}}</ref>

In 2006, ''New York''<nowiki/>'s website, NYMag.com, underwent a year-long relaunch, transforming from a site that principally republished the magazine's content to an up-to-the-minute news- and- service destination. [[John Heilemann]]'s reporting on the 2008 presidential election led to the best-selling book ''[[Game Change]]'', co-authored with [[Mark Halperin|Mark Halperin.]] In 2008, the magazine's parent company New York Media also purchased the restaurant- and-menu site MenuPages as a complement to its own restaurant coverage, reselling it<ref>{{Cite news |last=Pérez-Peña |first=Richard |date=July 12, 2008 |title=New York Magazine Buys MenuPages Site |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/12/business/media/12menu.html |access-date=October 27, 2023 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> in 2011 to Seamless.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Brustein |first=Joshua |date=September 26, 2011 |title=Seamless Acquires Menupages in Race for Restaurants |url=https://archive.nytimes.com/bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/26/seamless-acquires-menupages-in-race-for-restaurants/ |access-date=October 27, 2023 |website=Bits Blog |language=en}}</ref>

With the launch of Grub Street, devoted to food, and Daily Intelligencer (later renamed just "Intelligencer"), its politics site, both in 2006; Vulture, its culture site, in 2007; and The Cut, its fashion-and-women's-interest site, in 2008, ''New York'' began shifting significant resources toward digital-only publication. These sites were intended to adapt the urbane sensibility of the print magazine for a national and international audience, and attract readership that had been lost by print magazines in general, particularly fashion and entertainment outlets. In 2009, the ''[[Washington Post]]'' media critic [[Howard Kurtz]] wrote that "the nation's best and most-imitated city magazine is often not about the city—at least not in the overcrowded, traffic-clogged, [[Boroughs of New York City|five-boroughs]] sense," observing that it was more regularly publishing political and cultural stories of national and international import.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Kurtz |first=Howard |date=December 7, 2009 |title=Howard Kurtz – Media Notes: Howard Kurtz on New York Magazine's Adam Moss |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |language=en-US |url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/06/AR2009120602395.html |access-date=October 27, 2023 |issn=0190-8286}}</ref> By July 2010, digital ads accounted for one-third of the company's advertising revenue.

==Puzzles and competitions==

''New York'' magazine has long run literary competitions and distinctive [[crossword puzzles]]. For the first year of the magazine's existence, the composer and lyricist [[Stephen Sondheim]] contributed an extremely complex [[cryptic crossword]] to every third issue. Sondheim eventually ceded the job in order to write his next musical, and [[Richard Maltby, Jr.]] took over. For many years the magazine also syndicated [[The Times]] of London's cryptic crossword.

Beginning in early 1969, for two weeks out of every three, Sondheim's friend Mary Ann Madden edited<ref>{{Cite book |last=Hayward |first=Bill |title=Cat People |publisher=Dolphin/Doubleday |year=1978 |location=New York |pages=52}}</ref> an extremely popular witty literary competition calling for readers to send in humorous poetry or other bits of wordplay on a given theme that changed with each installment. (A typical entry, in a competition calling for humorous epitaphs, supplied this one for Geronimo: "Requiescat in Apache.") Altogether, Madden ran 973 installments of the competition, retiring in 2000. Hundreds, sometimes thousands, of entries were received each week, and winners included [[David Mamet]], [[Herb Sargent]], and [[Dan Greenburg]]. [[David Halberstam]] once claimed that he had submitted entries 137 times without winning. Madden published three volumes of Competition winners, titled ''Thank You for the Giant Sea Tortoise'', ''Son of Giant Sea Tortoise'', and ''Maybe He's Dead: And Other Hilarious Results of New York Magazine Competitions''.

Beginning in 1980, the magazine ran an American-style crossword constructed by [[Maura Jacobson|Maura B. Jacobson]]. Jacobson retired in April 2011, having created 1,400 puzzles for the magazine, after which the job passed to Cathy Allis Millhauser and then Matt Gaffney.<ref>{{Cite web |date=April 21, 2011 |title=After Three Decades–Plus of Puzzle-Making, Maura B.

=== ''Intelligencer'' === ''New York''{{'}}s news blog was introduced under the name ''Daily Intelligencer'', expanding upon the weekly magazine's front-of-the-book Intelligencer section. Launched in 2006, it was initially written mostly by [[Jessica Pressler]] and Chris Rovzar, whose coverage focused on local politics, media, and Wall Street but also included extensive chatter about the television show ''Gossip Girl''. Over its first half-decade, the site expanded in reach and became more focused on national politics, notably with the addition of columnist [[Jonathan Chait]] in 2011 and the longtime political blogger Ed Kilgore in 2015.
