I've been reading the Economist since I was a kid cutting charts out of it for school projects. I pay for their product happily, and they're a shining example of what I'd love to see more newspapers and magazines become. They have: * A stated point of view * A consistent, brief, often funny writing style * An always interesting mix of big-picture stories and smaller trend pieces * Almost all of their content in audio form * Pretty good tech products/reading experiences They're also one of the few periodicals that, when I read about something I'm pretty knowledgeable about, doesn't fall flat. Of all the major periodicals out there, it seems to me that they're one of the better positioned ones.
