The Economist

The Economist is a publication based in the United Kingdom, covering business, politics, economics and international affairs. Its website carries analysis and reporting organised by region and topic, alongside data journalism and opinion pieces, aimed at readers following global business and policy developments rather than local news. Content is presented in weekly sections covering different parts of the world, alongside standing sections on finance, science and books.

Articles are written without individual bylines, a longstanding editorial convention of the publication, and coverage spans finance, technology, science and culture alongside its core focus on politics and economics. Readers are typically business professionals and policy-minded readers following international affairs.
