Amazon shows its artsy side with 'The New Yorker Presents' series (Q&A) - CNET

Check the full article for an interview with two of the show's creators

""The New Yorker Presents" marks the first time Amazon has created a news magazine show for its burgeoning streaming service. The Seattle-based company is fighting, along with rival Netflix, to grab more viewers by pushing into higher-quality original programming. Amazon has so far made a mark with "Transparent" and "Mozart in the Jungle," both Golden Globe winners. The company is hoping this new series is another success.

Debuting Tuesday, "The New Yorker Presents" is intended to be as eclectic as the iconic publication on which it's based. There are cartoons, investigative documentaries and a lot of the periodical's dry wit."
