The New York Times announced the launch of Air Mail, calling it a weekly newsletter for "worldly cosmopolitans."[3] The weekly's writers include Alessandra Stanley,[4] Michael Lewis,[5] William D. Cohan,[6] and others.
In 2022, Air Mail published a list of The "Downtown Set", 50 New Yorkers in the arts and culture spheres living and working in Lower Manhattan. The feature included black-and-white portraits by James Emmerman.[7]
In October 2023, Air Mail published an investigation titled The Grift, the Prince, and the Twist[8] written by Hannah Ghorashi and George Pendle, involving Amar Singh and Liza-Johanna Holgersson. In an opinion piece, GLAAD award–winning LGBTQ journalist Karen Ocamb claimed the publication had inaccuracies.[9][10] The Mail article was also disparaged in the opinion of Renée Cox in the online arts magazine "forum for serious, playful, and radical thinking" Hyperallergic.[11] Air Mail did not retract the article.[8]
In September 2025, it was acquired by Puck.[12][13] Carter and Stanley resigned from their positions and were replaced by Julia Vitale.[14]
