5. The Economist
Known for its coverage of current affairs, international business, politics, technology, and culture, the second British import has built up a good reputation for its more centrist view of the world since it was founded by Scottish businessman, economist, and Liberal politician James Wilson 178 years ago in September 1843. Originally conceived to muster support against harsh tariffs and other trade restrictions on imported food and corn, it has grown into a publication that boasts a high intellect.
Despite greatly expanding its layout and format, it has maintained a long standing tradition of having its articles are written anonymously, with no byline. Even the editor is not named, however, you can find their names on its digital platform nowadays. This policy has always allowed the paper to seem like it is speaking in one voice and gained a reputation for having very little reporting bias, exercising rigorous fact-checking, and strict copyediting.
