Yippee! The New Yorker may be in the black this year!

Here's an article from the San Francisco Chronicle. Yay, David Remnick! Yay New Yorker! I noticed that the article still linked the magazine's 17 years of unprofitability to the old "fusty" Shawn era. I'm not arguing that Shawn's magazine didn't exist in the dreary realms between "homework" and "unreadable," but the real money was lost after the magazine was sold to a massive magazine combine. It's amazing how nobody will admit that maybe there's more than one way to publish a magazine. Still, I'm a hard man, but fair: YAY! A strong New Yorker can only encourage friends of good magazines--and written humor!
