The Reader of the New Yorker

The kind of reader I think that is constructed by the cover of my New Yorker is either a tourist or an artist. I believe a tourist because it seems that they are in an art museum looking at this painting that they have never seen before and they then take a picture of it since they seem to like it. It can also be an artist because they could use the painting as an inspiration for one of their works. An article that can support this tourist or artist audience is page 8 “Goings On About Town”, which states many things that are going on around town. It talks about events in the night, and events in art, dance, classical music, and movies. These appeal both to tourists and artists because they are things that these kind of people would want to do when they are visiting a new place. Then on pages 9-12 it shows a spring-summer cultural calendar with events that are in different places where tourists might want to visit if they found out about these events. Then on the other pages it shows theatre and critic’s notebook talking about movies and a song by Natasha Bedingfield, this would appeal to an artist in any type of media area. This cover and magazine article appeals to an artist than a tourist to me mainly because of all the events that are mentioned in the “Going On” section.
