The Economist is an English-language weekly news and international affairs
publication owned by "The Economist Newspaper Ltd" and edited in London.
It has been in continuous publication since James Wilson established it in
September 1843. As of summer 2007, its average circulation topped 1.2 million
copies a week, about half of which are sold in North America. Consequently it
is often seen as a transatlantic (as opposed to solely British) news source.

The aim of The Economist is "to take part in a severe contest between
intelligence, which presses forward, and an unworthy, timid ignorance
obstructing our progress."Subjects covered include international news,
economics, politics, business, finance, science, technology, and the arts.
The publication is targeted at the high-end "prestige" segment of the market
and counts among its audience influential business and government decision-
makers.

It takes a strongly argued editorial stance on many issues, especially its
support for free trade and fiscal conservatism; it can thus be considered
as a magazine which practises advocacy journalism.

Although The Economist calls itself a newspaper and refers to its staff as
correspondents, it is printed in magazine form on glossy paper, like
a newsmagazine.
