The New Yorker is published 47 times per year , which works out to most weeks, with a handful of combined “double issues” that each cover two weeks.

Quick Scoop

  • The New Yorker is officially described as a weekly magazine, but it does not publish 52 separate issues a year.
  • Instead, it releases 47 issues annually, using several double issues (often in summer and around late December) that each count for two weeks.
  • These double issues are usually marked on the cover with two dates and are often slightly thicker, sometimes organized around a particular theme.

Publication Rhythm

  • In a typical year, you can expect a new New Yorker almost every week, with only a few weeks skipped because of those combined issues.
  • The exact weeks that are skipped can vary slightly year to year, but the pattern of 47 total issues has been consistent in recent publishing schedules.
