The Economist, founded in London in 1843, is known for its independent and global perspective. It says it is a magazine, but it is actually registered as a newspaper. The Economist is printed simultaneously every Thursday evening in six locations around the world, and is published globally every Saturday, 4-5 issues/month, while updating the latest issue online later in the day. The Economist is a fully international journal, with 80% of its circulation coming from outside the UK.
