- mongol 14y agoIt is the theme of this week's special report. 14 pages on this theme in the middle section, to rip out and save if you would like.
- rdouble 14y agoIt's a common theme at the Economist to pick out a section of the world and focus on it for an issue. This week it happens to be the Nordics but in the past it has done China, the USA, France, Singapore, etc.
- jupiterjaz 14y agoOnce a month or once a quarter I think.
- mongol 14y agoMore of than once a quarter, for special reports. But if I should abstain for all technology reporting for a quarter, the "Technology Quarterly" of the Economist is the one I would not like to miss.

- sandstrom 14y agoThe most recent 'Special Report' (this weeks issue) focuses on The Nordics. It's a series of some 5-8 articles in the paper. The previous special report was on offshoring and outsourcing. http://www.economist.com/printedition/specialreports http://www.economist.com/printedition/specialreports
- mbesto 14y agoOne pattern I've noticed lately is that if some topic gets popular people tend to just beat it with a dead horse (reddit works a lot like this). It's a bit like the 24/7 news cycle. Hence why I believe HN link curation has become popular.
