The New Yorker was founded on 21st February, 1925. The editor was Harold Ross and it was financially backed by Raoul Fleischmann. Initially the magazine concentrated on the social and cultural life of New York City. It eventually widened its scope and developed a reputation for publishing some of the best short-stories, cartoons, biographical profiles, foreign reports and arts reviews.

Ross remained the controlling influence over the magazine until his death in 1951. William Shawn became editor-in-chief and held the post until 1987, when he was succeeded by Robert Gottlieb (1987-1992) and Tina Brown.
