Description The Economist - April 16 2016 English | HQ PDF | 96 pages | 16.0 MB The Economist is an English-language weekly newspaper owned by the Economist Group and edited in offices based in London.[4][5][6] Continuous publication began under founder James Wilson in September 1843. For historical reasons, The Economist refers to itself as a newspaper, but each print edition appears on small glossy paper like a news magazine. In 2006, its average weekly circulation was reported to be 1.5 million, about half of which were sold in the United States.[7] The publication belongs to The Economist Group. It is 50% owned by the British branch of the Rothschild family and by the Agnelli family through its holding company Exor. The remaining 50% is held by private investors including the editors and staff.[8][9] The Rothschilds and the Agnellis are represented on the Board of Directors.[10] A board of trustees formally appoints the editor, who cannot be removed without its permission. Although The Economist has a global emphasis and scope, about two-thirds of the 75 staff journalists are based in the City of Westminster, London.[11] As of March 2014, the Economist Group declared operating profit of £59m.[12] Previous major shareholders include Pearson PLC.[13] The Economist claims that it "is not a chronicle of economics."[14] Rather, it aims "to take part in a severe contest between intelligence, which presses forward, and an unworthy, timid ignorance obstructing our progress."[15] It takes an editorial stance of classical and economic liberalism which is supportive of free trade, globalisation, free immigration and cultural liberalism (such as supporting legal recognition for same-sex marriage). The publication has described itself as "a product of the Caledonian liberalism of Adam Smith and David Hume."[16] It targets highly educated readers and claims an audience containing many influential executives and policy-makers.[17] The newspaper's CEO described this recent global change, which was first noticed in the 1990s and accelerated in the beginning of the 21st century, as a "new age of Mass Intelligence."
