minton beddoes 2015 present 51 notes the concise dictionary of national biography makes him assistant editor 1858 1860 he was wilson s son in law a journalist and biographer tone and voice edit although it has many individual columns by tradition and current practice the newspaper ensures a uniform voice aided by the anonymity of writers throughout its pages 52 as if most articles were written by a single author which may be perceived to display dry understated wit and precise use of language 53 54 the economist s treatment of economics presumes a working familiarity with fundamental concepts of classical economics for instance it does not explain terms like invisible hand macroeconomics or demand curve and may take just six or seven words to explain the theory of comparative advantage articles involving economics do not presume any formal training on the part of the reader and aim to be accessible to the educated layperson it usually does not translate short french and german quotes or phrases but describes the business or nature of even well known entities writing for example goldman sachs an investment bank 55 the economist is known for its extensive use of word play including puns allusions and metaphors as well as alliteration and assonance especially in its headlines and captions this can make it difficult to understand for those who are not native english speakers 56 widely considered as a magazine 6 the economist has traditionally and historically persisted in referring to itself as a newspaper 7 57 rather than a news magazine despite its switch from broadsheet to perfect binding format in 1971 on its website the economist itself clarifies by the time the transformation from newspaper to magazine format had been completed the habit of referring to ourselves as this newspaper had stuck 58 editorial anonymity edit the economist s articles often take a definite editorial stance and almost never carry a byline 59 not even the name of the editor is printed in the issue it is a long standing tradition that an editor s only signed article during their tenure is written on the occasion of their departure from the position the author of a piece is named in certain circumstances when notable persons are invited to contribute opinion pieces when journalists of the economist compile special reports previously known as surveys for the year in review special edition and to highlight a potential conflict of interest over a book review the names of the economist editors and correspondents can be located on the media directory pages of the website 60 online blog pieces are signed with the initials of the writer and authors of print stories are allowed to note their authorship from their personal web sites 61 one anonymous writer of the economist observed this approach is not without its faults we have four staff members with the initials j p for example but is the best compromise between total anonymity and full bylines in our view 62 according to one academic study the anonymous ethos of the weekly has contributed to strengthening three areas for the economist collective and consistent voice talent and newsroom management and brand strength 63 the editors say this is necessary because collective voice and personality matter more than the identities of individual journalists 64 and reflects a collaborative effort 65 in most articles authors refer to themselves as your correspondent or this reviewer the writers of the titled opinion columns tend to refer to themselves by the title hence a sentence in the lexington column might read lexington was informed american author and long time reader michael lewis criticised the paper s editorial anonymity in 1991 labelling it a means to hide the youth and inexperience of those writing articles 27 although individual articles are written anonymously there is no secrecy over who the writers are as they are listed on the economist s website which also provides summaries of their careers and academic qualifications 66 in 2009 lewis included multiple economist articles in his anthology about the 2008 financial crisis panic the story of modern financial insanity 67 john ralston saul describes the economist as a newspaper that hides the names of the journalists who write its articles in order to create the illusion that they dispense disinterested truth rather than opinion this sales technique reminiscent of pre reformation catholicism is not surprising in a publication named after the social science most given to wild guesses and imaginary facts presented in the guise of inevitability and exactitude that it is the bible of the corporate executive indicates to what extent received wisdom is the daily bread of a managerial civilization 68 features edit a stack of economist papers ordered by publication date 2020 the economist s primary focus is world events politics and business but it also runs regular sections on

social responsibility published january 2005 produced largely critical letters from oxfam the world food programme united nations global compact the chairman of bt group an ex director of shell and the uk institute of directors 73 in an effort to foster diversity of thought the economist routinely publishes letters that openly criticize the paper s articles and stance after the economist ran a critique of amnesty international in its issue dated 24 march 2007 its letters page ran a reply from amnesty as well as several other letters in support of the organisation including one from the head
