When I read about topics in which I have first hand experience, I feel The Economist does an excellent job of portraying the facts and different perspectives. This almost never happens in any mainstream media, especially regarding technology and trading. Therefore, I trust The Economist on topics in which I don't have first hand experience. They rarely let me down. I hope this continues and it seems they believe it will only improve.

- davidw 11y agoYes - I recall reading it at a friend's house in the late 90ies, talking about open source software. I expected a bit more negative reaction from a business-oriented publication, but they had most of their facts right and seemed to have a pretty good take on things. I subscribed afterwards myself. I also love the fact that they got into a legal tussle with Berlusconi after having called him not fit to lead Italy - and won!

- gozo 11y agoI used to have that feeling to, but that has changed in recent years. For instance they gravely misrepresented things in a their Nordic issue a couple of years back.
