Tired of seeing Pikachu on the cover of TIME?

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 1999
Review: This magazine has a somewhat confusing name. I picked it up in the belief that I would be reading about business and stocks. What I found, however, was a genuinely informative news magazine that lacks most of the fluff that's in American news...

Keep in touch with World Events and Issues

Date of Review:  Feb 24, 2000
Review: When I majored in International Relations at Wellesley College, the first thing that was on the required weekly assignments of my first class was: read the Economist. I already had a subscription to this magazine, but little did I know it was so...

Required Reading

Date of Review:  Apr 4, 2000
Review: It is a sign of the Economist's greatness that every decade or so a well-respected American writer (usually one from the left) feels compelled to put it down. The latest to do so was James Fallows, who identified the magazine's strong editorial...

Among weekly news magazines, none is better

Date of Review:  Jun 29, 2001
The Bottom Line: Required reading for anyone who wishes a perspective on current events outside of the American mainstream media, and who is not afraid to have their world view challenged.
Review: Although I often disagree with this magazine's conclusions, particularly regarding US politics, The Economist is an indispensible alternative to the points of view expressed in most domestic news media. In addition, no comparable publication covers...

The Best News Magazine Available

Date of Review:  Jul 19, 2001
The Bottom Line: The Economist is one of the few news magazines available that is intelligent while still accessible, it offers great reporting and opinions.
Review: The Economist is one of the few news magazines available that offers complete reporting and analysis of international political and economic news. Thankfully, this analysis comes without the sensationalism that pervades most news magazines. For...

The Very Best Global News Source!

Date of Review:  Aug 20, 2001
The Bottom Line: This magazine is your best bet for unbiased global news!
Review: This British magazine covers global news fairly and with a critical eye. The in-depth coverage of its articles on the events of various countries is presented with a frank and open slant that I have not seen in other global magazines.

Intelligent World News Coverage, to Keep you in Touch

Date of Review:  Oct 1, 2003
The Bottom Line: This is my favorite news magazine. It covers important world news topics and issues with thoroughness and clarity.
Review: I subscribe to a large number of magazines. Most of my subscriptions were complimentary, given to me free of charge by the publisher. Others have to be paid for and some of them have proven to be more valuable and more enjoyable than others.

Not perfect, but clearly best weekly news magazine

Date of Review:  May 11, 2003
The Bottom Line: Excellent weekly--read it for a rational view of what's going on in the world politically and economically.
Review: Like many of the other reviewers, I'm a big fan of the magazine. No, it's not perfect. There is that certain snide Britishness, and its pro-business/conservative bias, that many may object to, but if you're aware of it, you can take that into...

Outstanding Perspective; Thorough Information

Date of Review:  Jan 26, 2008
The Bottom Line: There is nothing better when it comes to international economic news and perspective and the rest of the international news is strong as well.
Review: I've subscribed to the Economist for about 6 months now. I was always aware of the magazine as having solid economic information and a hefty subscription price. I became acquainted with the magazine in my Chiropractor's office. I saw a coupon for 6...

Best Newsmagazine in the World

Date of Review:  Jan 5, 2000
Review: I buy this magazine, because of the outstanding quality of the writing and in depth, [for the most part] unbiased coverage of news from all 4 corners of the globe. It has outstanding coverage of domestic and foreign events, science, finance,...
