New York is a city of international interest and importance. Doesn’t anybody think that might have something to do with it?

Insightful observation, stephenmarmon — thanks for sharing.. I wonder though if “current entertainment data” is enough to explain the difference.. After all, doesn’t digital publishing make such data just another commodity?

New York is a weekly. Virtually all the city magazines are monthlies. New York therefore has a solid base of users who want current entertainment data, something the others can’t offer. Weekly publication allow New York to respond to specific events, rather than just posting the latest top 100 restaurants list. That scheduling diifference accounts for almost all of the distinction between New York and other city magazines.

Reblogged this on PostPrint and commented: Weekly print publication New York magazine leapt into digital early and now it is reaping the rewards – profits and revenue are at their highest levels since 2003 and it’s growing! It’s also a great example of how localised content can be of national and even global interest online, 80% of NYmag.com traffic is not from New York. But then again, who isn’t interested in what’s happening in New York! It might be a touch harder for a city mag from Adelaide to attract that kind of online traction.
