The New Yorker Will Conquer the Digital Future and You Will Like It

The New Yorker is quite pleased with its digital operations, and its editors aren’t shy about telling everyone. David Remnick, the magazine’s editor-in-chief, appeared on CBS This Morning and when the subject of paywalls came up, Remnick got testy. “Look, you cannot get these stories for free,” he explained. “I cannot give you everything on the Internet for free and make you think The New Yorker is something that comes out of the faucet.” Agreed!

Nicholas Thompson, the New Yorker’s digital editor, feels just as strongly about the electronic version of the glossy.
