The New Yorker has stood the test of time by using only illustrated images on its cover, avoiding typography entirely since 1925. This approach distinguishes it from contemporary magazines that rely on photography and text to attract readers. The magazine’s success is attributed to its visionary art editors who understand the power of illustration to captivate audiences in an increasingly noisy media landscape. Despite the challenges posed by modern image consumption, The New Yorker remains committed to visual storytelling that ignites the imagination and reflects American life and culture.
"Even as the nature of image consumption has shifted dramatically over the past century, The New Yorker has relied on its unique strategy of illustration over typography to remain distinctive."
"By employing only four art editors in a hundred years, The New Yorker has demonstrated a commitment to a deeply unique visual approach that resonates with its audience's desire for imaginative expression."
