The editor of the New Yorker’s website rolls his rock up a hill of churn.
A tweetstorm posted last week in response to Reuters’ Apple News+ is $10 per month. Is it time to dump your New Yorker subscription?
2/ Currently, Apple News+ only includes the print magazine every week. Vast majority of the 10-15 pieces we publish every day online is not included. Some of what you’d be missing: urgent investigative reporting by people like @RonanFarrow @JaneMayerNYer…

4/ A full New Yorker subscription includes the ability to play our weekly crossword puzzle that got this amazing write-up the other day in @dailybeast. https://t.co/N1t4X1VZiJ

6/ I’m biased but the print @newyorker also remains an incredible “product.” I’ve been thinking a lot lately about uninterrupted reading experiences, and hard to beat curling up with the magazine.

8/ New Yorker subscribers get early access to TNY Festival tickets. And, of course, Apple News+ doesn’t include a free @newyorker tote bag.

10/ More on what you get out of your full @newyorker subscription: access to our entire 94-year-old archive; Daily Shouts; @BorowitzReport; daily cartoons; news-making interviews by @IChotiner; reporting like today’s important piece by @charlesbethea. https://t.co/xK7ucDDFFu

12/ More on what you won’t get in Apple News+: Today’s extraordinary profile of Ilhan Omar by @benwallacewells. https://t.co/LIW1RljZdH

13/ Also not in Apple News+ today’s really fun @frynaomifry interactive feature revisiting “Heathers” for its 30th anniversary. Don’t miss the chart ranking teen movies from dark to feel-good! https://t.co/0FM63siZP1

My take: One more thing you won’t get by reading the magazine through Apple News+: Stacks of unread New Yorkers.
