I Read You, New York is an independent journalistic magazine founded in New York in 2026. It practices rigorous, deeply reported narrative journalism.

The city’s social issues are observed through the lens of reading, at the level of children and young people, to make space for truth and to learn to read it with a sense of wonder. The presence of children in the newsroom is essential, bringing fresh, unfiltered perspectives. The editorial director is journalist Maria Sole Angeletti, specializing in in-depth interviews and longform reporting on New York—a city she has been covering for many years. The team includes award-winning New York–based photojournalists and designers from The New York Times and leading U.S. publishing houses, along with academic editors and a former senior copy editor at The New Yorker.

Made in a historic Italian printing house, on paper from a Swedish mill set along a river where monks once fished, each page invites time and attention.


Maria Sole Angeletti is a journalist and the editor-in-chief of I Read You, New York. She writes for Italian and New York-based newspapers and magazines. For years, she has covered New York City through reportage, interviews, and investigative reporting focused on social issues.


Ben Sklar is a photographer from Austin, Texas. His work explores the complexity of life and human connection with a unique sense of curiosity, wonderment and discovery in the lyrical documentary tradition. His works are included in the Fotohof Museum Library, Harry Ransom Center for American History, and the Ogden Museum and he has been recognized by the SPJ, PDN and the Nieman Foundation among others. He is a graduate of the Hartford Art School Masters of Fine Art Photography program, faculty member at The International Center for Photography and founder of Trophy Press.
