5 stars for production; -2 stars for hypocricy
Economist always had excellent production values and great people behind it. They are very good at presenting information that "does not" need interpretation. That is the good news. The bad news is that most of their opinions are not thought through impartially from both sides. I do not mind a Western or a British bend; but to ignore impartiality, to not have any shame while parroting governments' opinions on non-western countries is shameful.
While I am at it, their pricing strategy makes no sense.. ( sad for a paper called Economist)
If they don't do a serious look, I am worried about how they are going to survive the shrinking of the western audience and the rise of the Asians and Africans.

Excellent
I can’t really fault the Economist, the production value is excellent and the content is also brilliant. All the quality and centrist opinion I need to keep me informed in the increasingly partisan world that we live in. I cannot recommend it enough.

Business, Economics, etc.
Each day a different interview, often with one of the Economist's many experts on different subjects. The interviews are long enough to feel as if I have some understanding of the subject, but not so long that I can't listen every day. Varied topics: the economy, banking, what's happening in a country, etc.

Best bet
The Economist is one of my go-to podcasts. A classically liberal, no to be confused with regular liberal, take on today's global matters. Always interesting and intellectual.

What Hindu Nationalism Means
This magazine is succinct and very current! No politics hiding between the lines, no Fluff, no candy-covered stories about Snooki; just the news.
