Most editors consider The Economist a generally reliable news magazine focused on data journalism. Distinctively, its news articles appear without bylines and mixed with commentary. Within these news articles, Wikipedia editors should use their judgement to discern factual content – which can be generally relied upon – from analytical content, which should be used in accordance with the guideline on opinion in reliable sources. Its pseudonymous commentary columns and other opinion pieces should also be handled according to this guideline.
