New York Times Magazine

New York Times Magazine, often affectionately dubbed T Magazine by its hipper readers, emerged in 1896 from the very womb of The New York Times, the brainchild of its founder Adolph Ochs who decided that a paper needed a little gloss and glamour to accompany its hard news. Known for its boundary-pushing features and glossy spreads, T Magazine has had its share of defining moments, including the 1990s' famed "The List" issue that became the ultimate guide for aspirational tastes. It boasts multiple National Magazine Awards and leaders like Jake Silverstein, its editor since 2014, have aimed to keep it relevant and incisive while navigating a media landscape that's become increasingly crowded. T Magazine remains the epitome of highbrow chic, but with a knack for steering into the storm when it comes to content that’s as likely to provoke as it is to dazzle.
