The New Yorker publishes its first special music issue in August. According to PRN's sister publication, min, the double issue is a breakthrough for the magazine, whose
reputation is more closely associated with Beethoven and Mozart than the sounds of the Dixie Chicks or 'N Sync. Even the newsstand venues for the issue are hip - think Tower and
Virgin Records.
