After 16 years as a vibrant online platform, Tablet magazine is launching a high-end monthly print edition.
Tablet, the sharp-tongued online magazine that has built a loyal audience over 16 years, is launching a print edition in a move that bucks the digital-only trend sweeping the media industry. Editor-in-chief Alana Newhouse says the new monthly will offer readers a more tactile, deliberate experience, “a sense of humanity and passion” in contrast to what she sees as the sterile outputs of mainstream media.
Launching next week, the first edition will cost $40 and feature original long-form reporting, photo essays and exclusive content for subscribers. Future issues will align with cultural and religious moments. The magazine will be edited by Lorin Stein, the former Paris Review editor, and aims to bring literary heft to Tablet’s distinctive voice.
Speaking to Page Six, Newhouse described Tablet as a home for readers disenchanted with legacy outlets. “While legacy media was busy ignoring reality, we established a reputation for telling the truth,” she said. The print edition is positioned as both a return to slower journalism and a challenge to the homogeneity of the news cycle.
Tablet’s move into print is a contrarian bet at a time when most publishers are cutting physical editions or shutting them down entirely. But Newhouse believes there’s an audience, especially among Tablet’s existing base, who want more depth, more variety and more connection in their media consumption.
The launch also taps into a wider cultural fatigue with the speed and sameness of online news. By embracing a slower, more intentional format, Tablet hopes to carve out a niche for long-form storytelling that stands apart from the algorithm-driven churn of digital publishing.
