== Summary ==
Most editors consider ''The Economist'' a generally reliable news magazine focused on [[data journalism]]. Distinctively, its news articles appear without [[byline]]s 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 [[WP:RSOPINION|guideline on opinion in reliable sources]]. Its pseudonymous commentary columns and other opinion pieces should also be handled according to this guideline.
