As we put the May/June issue of This Magazine to bed, I’m sure our art director wishes he had a staff of 45, but such is not the case.
So I was amused to find this masthead for The New Yorker, cobbled together by The New York Observer (click the link at the end of the Observer piece to get a pdf of the masthead). As Tom Scocca writes, “Officially, there’s no such thing as the New Yorker masthead.” The writers have bylines, the editors are a largely anonymous lot.
The results are approximate, but fascinating nonetheless.
