By systematically sifting news in these categories we aim to ensure that readers miss nothing important. Our news priorities are reflected in the sections that we include in the paper every week: these are both geographical (Britain, Europe, the United States, the Americas, China, Asia, Middle East and Africa, International) and thematic (Business, Finance and economics, Science and technology, Books and arts). ![]() So each week in print and each day online we provide a carefully selected global mix of stories. Our readers expect us to keep them well informed about the world. This mission continues to guide our coverage: we publish it every week in the newspaper. The Economist has been published since September 1843 to take part “in a severe contest between intelligence, which presses forward, and an unworthy, timid ignorance obstructing our progress”. It now incorporates a font from The Economist Typefamily, a typeface created specifically for our use. The corporate logotype of The Economist has evolved from the gothic lettering used on the cover of the first issue, published in 1843, to the box device designed in 1959 by Reynolds Stone, a British engraver and typographer. Commissioned by The Economist and designed by Alison and Peter Smithson, the tower was our home from 1964 until the summer of 2017, when we moved into the Adelphi, a 1930s art-deco office block on the Embankment. The modern, global version of The Economist was created in “the tower”, as journalists refer to the tallest of the three brutalist concrete buildings that make up the Smithson Plaza (formerly The Economist Plaza) in St James’s Street. The result is a position that is neither right nor left but a blend of the two, drawing on the classical liberalism of the 19th century and coming from what we like to call the radical centre. When The Economist opines on new ideas and policies, it does so on the basis of their merits, not of who supports or opposes them. The Economist’s starting-point is that government should remove power and wealth from individuals only when it has an excellent reason to do so.
