For the first time in more than a decade,
The New York Times Magazine has undergone a comprehensive redesign.
Starting with the April 5 edition (see above), readers will notice a new design for the print version, alongside a
"modernized digital experience" featuring an expanded feed with new columns and voices.
Fittingly, Sunday's cover story is about the evolution of media change: "How the
generation raised on smartphones is imagining life without them."
The updated magazine features new regular columns, including "The Context," which Editor Jake Silverstein describes this way
in a post about the overall redesign:
"The idea here is that the nature of digital
information decontextualizes so many of the stories readers encounter. So this weekly essay takes a story line in the news and identifies its deeper meaning by providing intellectual and
historical background. The first Context column, by David
Wallace-Wells, was published last weekend and is a fascinating look at how the green energy transition has made the world’s fossil fuel infrastructure more vulnerable to the kind of war that
we’re seeing now in Iran. David will show up often in this space, along with a small group of others."
