evilcomma: [TWO] Magazines I Cannot Live Without | The Economist My dad has a horrible track record with gifts. For my fourteenth birthday, he gave me a subscription for The Economist. At 14, this was not the new gaming system I had been hoping for, but nonetheless I read the magazine and fell in love with it. I love that because it covers such a broad range of world politics and news, but in really small dosages. It still impresses me how they can compress so much information into a few small blurbs and how direct the magazine is. There is no bullshit, just information. Agreed. As I often like to quip, The Economist is one of the few publications in the world that is increasing its circulation. Its numbers have doubled in the past decade while other newspapers and magazines have seen theirs plummet. If I’m not wrong, it also has a subscription-based rather than advertising-based profit model, which again differs from newspapers.
