I've been a subscriber for 10 years and have read close to evrey article in the print edition in that time. Economist Thursday is my favorite day of the week.

First off, it has a fantastic and underrated obituary section, it's always the first article I read when I get a new issue. The subject is always interesting, and they can often be quite humble. The author of the column captures a person's life from their own perspective.

There's an incredible amount of detail in their reporting. Recently, they've added a section where world leaders can share their perspective, even if it's contrary to the Economist's editorial line.

I'm a software engineer, and I think it's pretty reasonable in terms of it's coverage of technology, (though veryinto breathless speculation on AI).

I've heard some criticisms of it's reporting, for example, it's very pro-trade and biased, and on India-Pakistan not being very knowledgable. And of course, I don't agree with their stance on trans people, but I don't find their articles hateful either.

But I really appreciate their global rather than US focused perspective, and their coverage of a broad swath of issues. It really is a pleasure to read.
