How to Cancel The New Yorker 2026 — Is $15/Month Worth It?
Updated March 2026 • 5 min read
The New Yorker is iconic. The writing is superb. And at $8-15/month after the intro rate, it joins your growing stack of unread media subscriptions. If you signed up during a "$1.50/week for 12 weeks" promo and forgot about it, you're now paying full price for issues that go directly from mailbox to recycling.
The New Yorker Pricing
- Intro rate: $1.50/week for 12 weeks ($18 total)
- Digital only: $7.99/month or $89.99/year
- Digital + Print: $14.99/month or $149.99/year

Cancel by Phone
Call 1-800-444-7570. Phone agents typically have better retention offers than the website. The New Yorker often offers the intro rate again rather than losing a subscriber.
Cancel via App Store
- iPhone: Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → The New Yorker → Cancel
- Android: Google Play → Payments & subscriptions → The New Yorker → Cancel
⚠️ Print subscriptions are separate: Canceling digital doesn't cancel print, and vice versa. If you have both, you need to cancel both separately. Check your account settings for all active subscriptions.
