From David Remnick Editor, The New Yorker   Dear Reader,   It is again that time of year when we at The New Yorker extend our thanks to those who have enjoyed and supported our work. If we could, we would carol our gratitude at your door. Instead, we hope that you will accept this sincere, if e-mailed, expression of appreciation—and consider purchasing a subscription, which will enable even more groundbreaking reporting and deep cultural coverage in the New Year.   For those of us at the magazine, there is no end to what a subscription makes possible. During this past year, we can start with the coverage of the continuing invasion of Ukraine. From the moment Vladimir Putin made it plain that he would attempt to overthrow President Volodymyr Zelensky and seize control of Kyiv, our writers and photographers have been there, on the ground, doing the dangerous and expensive work of covering the war. Joshua Yaffa, Luke Mogelson, and Masha Gessen have been writing from the front at great peril, and the resulting dispatches have helped create a deep and unblinkered portrait of a historic tragedy. Their reports of human suffering, criminal acts, and military strategy will help form the lasting literature of the first major ground war in Europe in decades.   The continuing crisis of democracy in our own country has taken some ferocious turns over the past year, and The New Yorker has covered it thoroughly. On Election Night, when so many were predicting a "red wave" of Republican victories, two dozen of our reporters wrote from across the country, in real time, about why the results were breaking in a different way. Susan B. Glasser, Jane Mayer, Amy Davidson Sorkin, and Jelani Cobb focussed on the challenges to our political system before and after the voting—and, once the results came in, New Yorker writers considered the possible eclipse of Donald Trump. When Roe v. Wade was overturned, in June, Jia Tolentino wrote about the consequences for American women, and Margaret Talbot followed up with a Profile of Samuel Alito, the Supreme Court Justice who wrote the opinion. Stephania Taladrid reported on the nascent abortion underground, and Jill Lepore described the historical dimensions of the decision, the consequences of which we will continue to cover.

When Queen Elizabeth II died, Rebecca Mead and Sam Knight assessed her complicated legacy and reported from the queue to say goodbye.   During a busy time, The New Yorker expanded its work in new forms, too, with some real success. In the world of video, the magazine won its first Emmy Award and received a pair of Oscar nominations. There's an entirely new cast to our Political Scene podcast, with Tyler Foggatt, a senior editor, taking over the weekly interview, and a brand-new roundtable discussion hosted by three deeply experienced reporters in Washington: Susan B. Glasser, Jane Mayer, and Evan Osnos. We hope you've enjoyed these growing ventures.   Happily, this year saw The New Yorker Festival return to the stage—to real life—and subscribers received extra benefits. Festival attendees heard from everyone from Bono to Quinta Brunson, Representative Jamie Raskin to Suzan Lori-Parks. Min Jin Lee, Sandra Oh, David Chang, and Lee Isaac Chung joined the editor of newyorker.com, Michael Luo, for a discussion of culture, representation, and creative expression. And, back in the pages of the magazine, the year ended with the most welcome sort of surprise: new fiction by Salman Rushdie—who, less than a year ago, endured a brutal onstage attack.   In 2022, The New Yorker remained a varied thing, a source of reporting and humor, fiction and poetry, commentary and art. It is a privilege to make it every day and every week, and an honor each time someone subscribes. We wish you, your friends, and your families a wonderful holiday season and a healthy New Year.   As ever, David Remnick Journalism that matters.   Subscribe Today View this e-mail in your browser.
