> The economist has several things going for it. For one, being a weekly newspaper they only write about things that are worth knowing about a week later. IIRC, weekly newsmagazines are pretty much the ideal compromise between timeliness and accuracy: they have far more time to fact-check than a daily paper (and have the luxury of letting things play out a bit more before publication), but aren't dated by (at least) a couple years like your typical book is at publication time. Too bad they're a dying breed. Another good thing the internet economics killed. > The Economist has its limitations, blind spots, specific ideology, and such as well.
