Ratings and Reviews
Best newspaper + app
Of course I love the economist for the content: the articles are relevant, uncomplicated, clear, interesting, timely and cover broad areas.
But the app also deserves it to be sung praises: it is well designed, never glitches, allows you to save articles and gives you an estimation of how long the article takes to read. I surprisingly use all of their functionalities. And that’s without even talking about the World in Brief, the Economist’s best invention.
Half a life with The Economist
I started my subscription to The Economist at high school. With some breaks, your magazine has accompanied me on and off for almost 30 years. I always appreciate the depth of the analysis, the perfect match between objective reporting and underlying fidelity to a set of values reflecting a liberal economy and society. There are pieces I will not forget - as they reflect on the key events of my life - the fall of the Berlin Wall, 9/11, the two Gulf wars, the Brexit referendum, the endorsements of winning and losing candidates in key elections or the obituary for George Floyd. There are the special reports providing an in depth understanding of new trends and developments. I still love the weekly edition. I always start with Bagehot, Lexington and Charlemagne (maybe too old or too far geographically to fully embrace the Asian century and Banyan) and make time to digest the whole edition. But now there’s much more: I wake up with The Espresso (and La Matinale of Le Monde). I especially appreciate the successful mix between the weekly edition and the articles on the website. Saturdays it’s Checks and Balance and I also like it that we start putting faces to the different editors and contributors (it was not the case in the 80’s). So I am a fan, it should be clear by now, but I still believe that objectively you provide the most wide ranging and yet in depth & dense news and opinion coverage around. Keep it up - and hopefully I will be reading you for another 30-40 years! Let me finish with an anecdote: a friend and fellow subscriber stationed in Honk Kong told me he was receiving the paper version with cut off pages when not to the flavor of the powers that be!!
