New York 《紐約雜誌》

New York is a bi-weekly magazine concerned with life, culture, politics, and style generally, and with a particular emphasis on New York City. Founded by Milton Glaserand Clay Felker in 1968 as a competitor to The New Yorker, it was brasher and less polite, and established itself as a cradle of New Journalism.[2] Over time, it became more national in scope, publishing many noteworthy articles on American culture by writers such as Tom WolfeJimmy BreslinNora EphronFrank Rich, and John Heilemann.
In its current incarnation under editor-in-chief Adam Moss, "The nation's best and most-imitated city magazine is often not about the city—at least not in the overcrowded, traffic-clogged, five-boroughs sense", wrote then Washington Post media critic Howard Kurtz, as the magazine has increasingly published political and cultural stories of national significance.[3]
Since its redesign and relaunch in 2004, the magazine has won more National Magazine Awards than any other publication, which includes the 2013 award for Magazine of the Year.[4] It was one of the first city magazines and one of the first dual-audience "lifestyle magazines", and its format and style have been emulated by some other American regional city publications.
In 2009, its paid and verified circulation was 408,622, with 95.8% of that coming from subscriptions. Its websites—NYmag.com, Vulture.com, The Cut, and Grub Street—receive visits from more than 14 million users per month.[5]

History[edit]

1960s[edit]

New York began life in 1963 as the Sunday-magazine supplement of the New York Herald Tribune newspaper. Edited by Clay Felker, the magazine showcased the work of several talented Tribune contributors, including Tom WolfeBarbara Goldsmith, and Jimmy Breslin.[6] Soon after the Tribune went out of business in 1966–67, Felker and his partner, Milton Glaser, purchased the rights with money loaned to them by C. Gerald Goldsmith (Barbara Goldsmith's husband at the time), and reincarnated the magazine as a stand-alone glossy. Joining them was managing editor Jack Nessel, Felker's number-two at the Herald Tribune. New York's first issue was dated April 8, 1968. Among the by-lines were many familiar names from the magazine's earlier incarnation, including Breslin, Wolfe (who wrote Tell if You're a Honk or a Wonk in the inaugural issue[7]), and George Goodman, a financial writer who wrote as "Adam Smith."
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 Gloria Steinem, who wrote the city-politics column, and Gail Sheehy. (Sheehy would eventually marry Felker, in 1984.) Harold Clurman was hired as the theater critic. Judith Crist wrote movie reviews. Alan Rich covered the classical-music scene. Barbara Goldsmith was a Founding Editor of New York magazine and the author of the widely imitated series, "The Creative Environment," in which she interviewed such subjects as Marcel BreuerI. M. PeiGeorge Balanchine, and Pablo Picasso about their creative process.Gael Greene, writing under the rubric "The Insatiable Critic," reviewed restaurants, cultivating a baroque writing style that leaned heavily on sexual metaphor.[citation needed] Woody Allen contributed a few stories for the magazine in its early years. The magazine's regional focus and innovative illustrations inspired numerous imitators across the country.[6]

之前看到紐約雜誌(New York Magazine) 這個封面就覺得太厲害了,不論從新聞角度或者設計角度,果然這封面造成轟動。
紐約雜誌一直是我很喜歡的雜誌,在紐約生活時我是紙本的忠實訂戶,現在則是ipad版訂戶,可惜知道這雜誌的朋友不太多,每次提及,大家都會問是new yorker嗎?其實這雜誌在2013年在美國被評為magazine of the year,主編也被視為超級厲害的編輯人。在七十年代時,這個雜誌就是「new jounalism」的重要基地。如今內容當然沒有紐約客這麼嚴肅,而是有吃喝玩樂流行時尚的資訊,但也有深度的文化和政治報導與評論(有點像「號外」),視覺設計也很強。
之前從港回台前,有人問我想辦什麼樣的新雜誌,我說這是一個重要參考,但當然,那會是一個超級大投資。所以這個夢想還不太可能實現....(但另外的媒體夢想有可能實現!)
