Walter BagehotThe Economist

The Economist refers to itself as a newspaper, but

each print edition appears on small glossy paper

like a news magazine. It targets highly educated

readers and claims an audience containing many

influential executives and policy-makers. On the

contents page of each newsmagazine, The

Economist 's mission statement is written in

italics. It states that The Economist was

“First published in September 1843 to take part in a severe contest between intelligence,

which presses forward, and an unworthy, timid ignorance obstructing our progress”.
