The New Yorker confronts former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's email controversy with a series of emojis on its cover. The newspaper’s take on the controversy is drawn by artist Barry Blitt. In a statement released by the magazine, Blitt said he was fascinated by emojis:

“Where would we be without emoticons, emoji, and sideways winky faces typed out of punctuation marks? Seriously, how does anyone understand anything that’s written with only letters? I feel sorry for the alphabet. I’m waiting for the first original novel to be composed solely with emoticons. Oh, and Hillary Clinton.”
