Storied Magazine Makes Historic Sales Pitch

thenewyorkerstore.com

The New Yorker is selling its complete archive, “every article, poem, short story, and cartoon (and every advertisement) that has appeared in the magazine since 1925,” on an external hard drive for $300. It’s a novel move for a media company, many of which have been wary of releasing digital versions of content to the public, for fear of piracy.

Print magazine sales are plummeting. Despite the
“room for future updates” on the hardrive, this
amounts to a last chance to get milk er dollars
out of the cow. I’m not knocking the New Yorker,
it continues to be a top-notch read. This is simply
the way of the world.

National Geographic produced past volumes on CD
a number of years back. Nothing new only the
storage media has changed.
