A peripatetic childhood, a love of old fashioned magazines and a self-described “zany” sensibility have converged in Hanya Yanagihara to make her a uniquely unique candidate to edit the New York Times’ T Magazine. For almost exactly a year now, she has been molding the lifestyle and culture magazine in her image”urgent” and “joyful” are her watchwords. A recent refresh brought in a new logo and typeface, but the full bleed art, smart cultural journalism and, yes, the adsso many adsare still going strong.
“Different editors have interpreted what T is in different ways,” Yanagihara says in this episode of the Ad Lib podcast. “I think of mine as more of a general interest, culture and art magazine that’s masquerading as a fashion magazine.”
