There's a new
New Yorker coming online. A relaunch of the famed weekly publication's Web site, NewYorker.com, will appear before the end of February, confirmed a spokesperson for the Conde Nast
publication. Web editor Blake Eskin and deputy editor Pamela McCarthy are teaming up to develop the site, and they have invited staffers throughout the publication to offer ideas. The news originally
appeared in yesterday's
WWD, a sister publication to
The New Yorker. A spokeswoman refused to confirm other details of the story, however, including speculation that the site would
include blogs from several of the magazine's writers, first vetted by its legendary fact-checking network. Conde Nast acquired the social-news site Reddit in late October, similar to digg.com, with
the strategy to integrate its structure into other online properties.
