New York is a magazine and also a newsroom. We publish, digitally and in print, roughly 100 articles a day, ranging across all sorts of subjects and styles of storytelling. How can anyone possibly keep up? Do you sometimes worry that you’re missing out on the very best journalism New York is publishing? Do you sometimes just want someone to point you to one well-written, important story to read at the end of the day?

We decided to launch a newsletter, called One Great Story, to do just that. Every evening, we’ll send you an article chosen by our editors that is, in our subjective but heartfelt opinion, an outstanding piece of journalism that we are especially proud to publish. Some days it will be a reported feature, other times a particularly sharp movie review or political column; sometimes it will contribute to the day’s most important news event, other times it will be detached from the news entirely. Each newsletter will be briefly introduced by a senior editor, offering a bit of behind-the-scenes about how the story came together. We hope you come to count on this super-tight curation for those times—on the subway home, after dinner, right before bed—when you want to lose yourself for a few minutes in the universe of New York. Join us for One Great Story, launching next week.
