The economist is the only other news source that I know of that is on par.
- DashRattlesnake 10y agoI've heard that it's reporters are actually quite young and inexperienced, but the editorial anonymity masks that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist#Editorial_anonymity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist#Editorial_anonym...: Is there any truth to that?
- germanier 10y agoThe Economist has a list of their corresponds and editors on their website http://mediadirectory.economist.com http://mediadirectory.economist.com They don't seem to be significantly younger or more inexperienced than other journalists. However, they don't have journalistic heavyweights that do month-long investigations or pump out one price winning report after another. Those are rare anyway. I know that they use a lot of stringers that remain unnamed. It is not unusual to have freelancers do research without naming them but as far as I know they also contribute whole articles. Likely these are people that also work for other news outlets.
