The New Yorker is not an independent business.  It's a "brand" owned
by Conde Nast:

Therefore, the bet would need to be whether The New Yorker remains in
business as part of Conde Nast or if Conde Nast sells or licenses The
New Yorker brand to a different conglomerate or equity capital group.

After all, you believe that a circulation of just over a million is "hardly obscure" despite half of those subscriptions either already or expected to become nothing more than Internet publications.

 
I'm not worried because I'll have plenty of company as your fearless
leader sinks the ship that's keeping us all afloat.

You have fluff where others have brains - we are speaking of whether the New Yorker magaine remains in print, not whether some mother company remains in business after they are forced to divest themselves of a dump truck

You lie (as usual).  Your comment was:

"I'm still waiting for your taking my $1000 bet that "The New Yorker"
will be out of business within 5 years."

Notice your "...will be out of business within 5 years" comment.
There's no mention about The New Yorker being out of print within 5
years.
