What is copy-editing and how does it work at The New Yorker? Why does the magazine spell “reëlection” with a diaeresis? Kate Norris, who has worked at The New Yorker for more than 30 years, will talk about what goes into producing a publication renowned for almost a century for its editorial standards, touching upon some of its remarkable and idiosyncratic staff. She will also answer your questions about language and grammar.
