I recently subscribed to the Economist. I enjoy getting my “paper” each Saturday, as I find the writing accessible, straight-shooting, and insightful.
One characteristic I like, which is different to other papers, is the authors are anonymous.
I like the reasons that I found for this decision. It “allow many writers to speak with a collective voice,” and a deep “belief that what is written is more important than who writes it,” and their overarching mission—which has remained constant since 1843—to take part “in a severe contest between intelligence, which presses forward, and an unworthy, timid ignorance obstructing our progress.”
I can get behind that.
