David Remnick Celebrates 10 Years as Editor of The New Yorker
June 30th, 2008
Remnick doesn’t think very much about the newsstand side of The New Yorker’s circulation business because — to hear him tell it — he doesn’t think very often about the magazine’s audience at all. “We…publish to please ourselves,” he says. “It would be arrogant to assume we knew what our readers wanted.” John Harrington interviewed Remnick, kicking off a new, occasional series in The New Single Copy called “The Editors.” Today’s issue is made available here in .pdf format with special permission from Harrington Associates, LLC.
