- 1letterunixname 3y agoThe Economist operates from a elitist vantage point and lacks reputation because no individual writer is ever given credit and no one ever puts their name to any opinion piece.

The real question is whether we as the public are doing a good enough job at holding these esteemed publications accountable for their mission -- especially as they continue to hold the position of authoritativeness in the public eye. (NYT holds a cachet that no number of Twitter handles or Medium sites combined would come close to.)
