The Economist subscription on April 25, 2011 by pb from North Carolina

  • Pros: Balanced, thoughtful coverage
  • Cons: Articles can be too long

The Economist subscription is a great resource to keep you informed. They cut through a lot of the bull you get if you watch a Cable News Network, getting to the actual events instead of the sensationalized story. The articles can be longer than I care for, but at least The Economist doesn't skimp on substance.

The Economist on November 17, 2010 by rarot from Kentucky

I've been a subscriber of The Economist for 15 years. If you want to get in-depth analysis about economic, social and political issues, this is the magazine to read.

Researcher's Friend on March 27, 2010 by Russ from Sylvester,Georgia USA

  • Pros: To the point and covers materials better than most gloss-over magazines.
  • Cons: I cannot think of many.

The Economist is an authoritative magazine that covers many sections of business and politics thoroughly. T.V. news covers barely any detail, many magazine gloss over the same topics but this magazine covers cracks and crevices that are often ignored by others but that are critical to understanding anything. I recommend this magazine to anyone who wants to be in the know before all the others get there.

One of the finest world news magazines in print on January 16, 2010 by Redneck Derek from Backwoods of SC

  • Pros: News and political reporting you can't find anywhere else
  • Cons: Expensive!

All of the so-called news magazines put together (Time, Newsweek, BusinessWeek, etc.) don't equal the information found in one issue of The Economist. If you want real news for your money instead of ad-filled garbage, you'll do good to drop the others and use your savings here. My only gripe is some American opinion-injected reporting is starting to creep into this British-based publication.

Expensive - and worth every penny! on January 09, 2010 by Veracruz69 from Madison, WI USA

  • Pros: My favorite source of world news! In-Depth and Authoritative!
  • Cons: It's quite expensive!

Although it's expensive, The Economist is worth every penny. The Economist takes a middle-of-the-road to slightly conservative view on things, and the articles (especially the cover story article), can be quite long. But the reporting is in-depth, a rare quality in this time of 10 second news bites. It takes a week to slog through everything, but it's worth it!
