I usually find the HackerNews police too strict, and I really like the New Yorker, but I can't think of what relevance this specific article has to the HackerNews community...
I also love the New Yorker and read it weekly, but am wondering why it's here.
Please re-read the HN guidelines. Anything of intellectual interest is on topic. That includes quality historical material.
Some hackers are building products tackling issues in journalism, communication, social problems, etc.
This piece is an excellent walk through the history of an incredibly influential organization that will give such hackers a chance to better understand the context of their work, where they are coming from, where they are, and what the future may hold.
To me, that's what HN is all about.
