The American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME) presents its annual “best covers of the year,” with this great one from The New Yorker as the winner.

If you look at the entries in all the categories, you will also find these covers from New York Magazine.

They are fantastic covers.

Always different.

Provocative.

Smart.

And, the most important fact: you know that they belong to New York magazine!

The revival of this city weekly is one of the best news in the magazine industry.

Congratulations and enjoy the show!
