The New Yorker's Survival in Social Media Age

The New Yorker's Survival in Social Media Age

A Netflix documentary is celebrating 100 years of The New Yorker magazine.

In the documentary, a writer named Andrew Marantz talks about how people sometimes criticize The New Yorker for being too elite.

He says that the magazine is known for being very detailed, even when quoting things that might sound rude.

For example, they might add an accent to a word like 'elite' when they write it down.

This shows how the magazine tries to be very precise, even if it makes them seem a bit fancy or out of touch with regular people.
