NEWYORKER.COM AND DIGITAL ACCESS

Where can I access newyorker.com?

On Web browsers on any desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone.

Which browsers work best for viewing newyorker.com?

For best results, use the latest version of Chrome, Safari, or Firefox.

Is newyorker.com available on mobile and tablet devices?

The New Yorker Today app, available for free in the App Store, is the best way to stay on top of all of The New Yorker’s offerings. Download it to your phone or tablet for a daily blend of in-depth reporting, political commentary, cultural criticism, and humor; also read each week’s issue as soon as it becomes available and browse past issues. App users can opt to receive alerts on breaking news and other significant pieces from the magazine and Web site. For step-by-step instructions on how to download and use the Today app, see here. For readers seeking a digital edition of the print magazine, see here.

Are all New Yorker articles available on newyorker.com?

Every issue of the magazine since its founding, in 1925, is available in a digital-replica format—to subscribers only—at archives.newyorker.com. Additionally, every story published for the magazine and for the Web since 2007 is available on newyorker.com in a standard Web format.

Do I need a subscription to access newyorker.com?

Our Web-only content (ten to fifteen new stories each day) and the full contents of each week’s magazine, plus everything published since 2007 and select older magazine stories, are available on newyorker.com. All readers are able to enjoy the home page, section pages, the video hub, Goings On About Town listings, and a limited number of articles per month at no charge before being asked to subscribe. Subscribers enjoy unlimited access to newyorker.com. To learn more about our paywall, see this note from our editors.

I am a current subscriber. How do I get access past the paywall on newyorker.com?

All subscribers have unlimited access to newyorker.com and our mobile apps. Sign in with your e-mail and password.

If you do not have a newyorker.com log-in, you can create one here. You will be asked to enter your e-mail address and create a password. If we cannot verify that you have an active subscription based on your e-mail address, you may need to enter your subscription account number or mailing address.

I’m signed in, but am still seeing the paywall. What do I do?

If you sign in and continue to hit the paywall, it is either because your subscription has expired or because the e-mail and password you logged in with are not yet associated with your subscription. You can check which of those is the case by visiting Customer Care to check your account details.

If you have a newyorker.com log-in but it is not currently associated with an active subscription, you can associate your subscription with your log-in here.

If you have any trouble signing in or linking your subscription, please contact us at 800-444-7570 (or 515-243-3273, if outside the United States) or e-mail help@newyorker.com.

I’m trying to create an account, but I get an error that my subscription is already associated with a log-in. What do I do?

If your subscription is already associated with a log-in, you just need to sign in here. If you cannot remember which e-mail address is associated with your subscription, please contact us at 800-444-7570 (or 515-243-3273, if outside the United States) or e-mail help@newyorker.com.

I’m trying to complete my log-in creation by entering my mailing address on the “Link My Subscription” page, but I get an error that there is no subscription associated with my address. What do I do?

Please make sure that the address you entered is the exact address associated with your subscription. If you have a Canadian address, please make sure to enter your postal code without any spaces. If you bought a digital-only subscription in an app on an iPhone, Android, or Kindle device, you will need to link your digital subscription in that app on that device. (Instructions are below.) If you have any trouble, please contact us at 800-444-7570 (or 515-243-3273, if outside the United States) or e-mail help@newyorker.com.

How do I make changes to my e-mail address or password?

You can visit the newyorker.com profile page to manage your newyorker.com account information, including your e-mail address and password.

I forgot my password, or need to reset it. How can I do that?

You can reset your password here.

Why does newyorker.com not keep me signed in?

When you sign in on newyorker.com, be sure to click the check box that says “Keep me logged in.” This will insure that we remember your log-in on that browser and device for a year instead of thirty days. You must have cookies enabled on your browser for us to remember your log-in.

Please be aware that social-media applications, including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, use their own browsers. So does Google AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages). Each of these is a different log-in environment that The New Yorker does not control. For example, if you’re on Twitter and you click on a New Yorker story on your phone, it will open in Twitter’s in-app browser (the same with Facebook, Google AMP, etc.). Each has varying levels of ability to retain log-in information (or “cookies”), which means that you may be prompted to log in again to continue reading. Newyorker.com and the New Yorker Today app retain log-in credentials for one year, so we recommend reading us in one of these places for the most seamless experience.

What does it mean to “link my subscription,” and why do I need to do so?

If you are logged in, but have not yet associated your subscription with your log-in information, you may need to link your subscription to verify that you have an active account.

I bought my subscription in the New Yorker Magazine app or the New Yorker Today app on my iPhone or iPad. How do I get my unlimited access to newyorker.com and archives.newyorker.com?

Immediately after you purchased a subscription in the app, you were asked to create a newyorker.com log-in. If you did not create a newyorker.com log-in at that time, you can still do so.

I purchased a New Yorker subscription on Google Play. Does that grant me access to newyorker.com and other platforms?

If you subscribed directly from Google, you are entitled to newyorker.com access. We are working with Google to fix the current account-linking flow. In the meantime, please call us at 800-444-7570 (or 515-243-3273, if outside the United States) or e-mail help@newyorker.com to get access.
