Medium:<\/strong>\u00a0Print and online.4<\/sup><\/p>\n Content:<\/strong>\u00a0The New Yorker<\/em>\u00a0features articles about various subjects concerning popular culture, world politics, and social issues, not necessarily in that order. Each issue also includes a short story, poetry, literary reviews, cartoons, and short news reports.<\/p>\n Frequency of publication:<\/strong>\u00a0The New Yorker<\/i> is published 47 times per year (number of issues per month varies).5<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n Location of submission guidelines:<\/strong>\u00a0Contact Us<\/a><\/p>\n Types of contributions accepted:<\/b> Poetry, newsbreaks, short stories, and letters to the editor, cartoons, and satirical pieces.6<\/sup><\/p>\n Submission and review process:<\/strong>\u00a0Send submissions via email as a pdf attachment.7<\/sup><\/p>\n Editorial tone:<\/strong>\u00a0Can range from silly to erudite, depending on the piece.<\/p>\n Style guide used:<\/strong>\u00a0None specified.<\/p>\n At first glance at the magazine\u2019s submission guidelines, it would seem that there isn\u2019t really any opportunity for LIS authors to contribute to\u00a0The New Yorker<\/em>, since they don\u2019t accept nonfiction articles due to the large volume of manuscripts they would probably receive. However, this publication does accept short news reports and commentaries so there is an opportunity for everyone, LIS professionals and students included, to submit short articles that deal with interesting occurrences or developments in their own communities.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Publication circulation:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201c\u2026more than a million subscribers to the weekly magazine and nearly twenty-one million readers every month on newyorker.com.\u201d8<\/sup><\/p>\n Audience location and language or cultural considerations:<\/strong>\u00a0Although it might seem that\u00a0The New Yorker<\/em>\u00a0primarily serves residents of New York City, its scope is diverse and wide enough for it to have become one of the best-selling magazines nationwide.\u00a0The New Yorker<\/em> is an English publication and primarily serves residents of the United States, but it covers issues from both a national and global perspective, making it accessible to the diverse population of the U.S. that come from a variety of different backgrounds and cultures.<\/p>\n Reader characteristics:<\/strong>\u00a0The readers of\u00a0The New Yorker<\/em>\u00a0are 45% male and 55% female. The average household income is $129,631. From the demographic statistics of its subscribers, we can assume that subscribers of this publication are typically educated middle to upper-class adults.9<\/sup> This publication is considered politically left leaning, and a review of the recent issues supports this assumption.<\/p>\n Knowledge of LIS subject matter:<\/strong>\u00a0It is safe to assume that the majority of subscribers are probably not LIS professionals and have little or no knowledge of LIS topics and issues. The magazine obviously has a diverse audience and LIS professionals only make up a small percentage of this group.\u00a0The New Yorker<\/em>\u00a0sometimes prints articles about libraries or librarians and the important issues of the profession, but with an absence of, or, at least minimal, LIS jargon for the benefit of all its readers.<\/p>\n Statistics show that the average reader of\u00a0The New Yorker<\/em> is financially well off, with age ranges across the spectrum. That said, being a popular magazine across the nation, its readers are still a diverse group of people with different backgrounds and interests. Since the magazine is only soliciting poetry, fiction, news breaks, commentaries, and letters to the editor, potential authors do not have to write scholarly pieces; the tone is informal, but writing should exhibit intelligence and a sophisticated mastery of language.<\/p>\n Although it is not a LIS-oriented magazine, LIS authors are still welcome to submit interesting commentaries or activities in their own communities and institutions.<\/p>\n Last updated:\u00a0<\/strong>September 6, 2020<\/p>\n Publication analysis About the publication Title:\u00a0The New Yorker ISSN: 0028-792X (Print) and 2163-3827 (Online)1 Purpose, objective, or mission:\u00a0\u201cThe New Yorker\u00a0is considered by many to be the most influential magazine in the world, renowned for its in-depth reporting, political and cultural commentary, fiction, poetry, and humor.\u201d2 Website:\u00a0The New Yorker Home Target audience:\u00a0General public.
