The Economist Editorial Philosophy
Founded in 1843 to support the cause of free trade, The Economist continues to produce journalism of sometimes radical opinion with a reverence for facts.

❖ Independence
Editorial independence lies at the heart of The Economist. The constitution of the company does not permit any individual or organisation to gain a majority shareholding. The editor is appointed by trustees, who are independent of commercial, political and proprietorial influences.

❖ Objectivity
The Economist article has no by-lines. It is written anonymously because its collective voice and personality matter more than the identities of individual journalists. This ensures a continuity of tradition and consistency of view.

❖ Topicality
The Economist constantly covers and curates the news. It publishes weekly in a magazine format and around the clock on its digital platforms.

The Economist Subscriptions
The Economist Subscriptions can be divided into Espresso, Digital, and Digital + Print. You can choose between monthly and annual payments, and you may cancel anytime.
