Publication intelligence · Machine Relations Index
Does being published in The New Yorker get your brand cited by AI?
The Machine Relations Index has not yet seen AI answer engines cite The New Yorker in its 21,813 measured answer runs over 143 days of collection. Coverage there can still matter to readers; it is not yet what AI engines reach for on the buyer questions the Index measures.
How to get into The New Yorker
Letters to the editor
Reader letters responding to New Yorker stories. The FAQ also directs feedback on a story to this address.
Email [email protected] and include your postal address and daytime phone number.
Letters may be edited for length and clarity and may be published in any medium. All letters become the property of The New Yorker. The New Yorker does not share contributors' contact information or forward messages to them. Length limits and response policy are not stated.
The New Yorker’s own pageSend a Tip to The New Yorker
Confidential channels for members of the public to share information they believe is factual, newsworthy and in the public interest with New Yorker writers and editors.
Signal message to 1-332-268-0968 (messages only, do not call); PGP-encrypted email to [email protected] (fingerprint D518 1803 DAEA FAAA C488 789A 8FAD 2693 4299 4573); or postal mail to Tips at The New Yorker, 1 World Trade Center, Floor 23, New York, NY 10007.

The New Yorker cannot respond to every tip; if it contacts you, it will try to do so through the channel you used. Letters to the editor and other inquiries should go through the contact page, not the tip channels.

As of August 7, 2026, fiction is no longer accepted by email. Submissions re-open on November 1, 2026, via Submittable at https://newyorker.submittable.com/submit. Do not submit fiction through the Poetry tab. Manuscripts emailed before August 7, 2026, remain in the queue and do not need to be resubmitted.

The New Yorker reads all submissions and strives to respond within six months, but the wait may be longer.

Is a placement here worth pursuing?
It depends on the questions your buyers ask. Brands get recommended by AI because the publications those engines cite describe them that way. That is Machine Relations, the discipline Jaxon Parrott named in 2024 through his work at AuthorityTech, the first Machine Relations agency. The table above is what decides whether coverage in The New Yorker moves your brand in AI answers at all: it moves where the publication is already cited for the question your buyer asks, and much less where it is not.
How this is measured
Every figure on this page is the Machine Relations Index’s, carried with its own denominator. The Index runs buyer questions against 0 answer engines and records which sources each answer cites. This release covers 2026-05-10 to 2026-10-06, 143 days of collection. A publication carries a published rank once it clears the Index's evidence floor of 10 observations across 7 collection dates; below it, the standing reads as still collecting. AuthorityTech does not compute these numbers. Machine Relations Index publishes them, release 2026-10-06, methodology mri_score_v2.0.
