The Economist Online
The Economist online is the home of intelligent analysis, discussion and debate.
Completely redesigned in 2010, the site contains the complete print edition (behind a pay
barrier). It also includes channels on politics, business, culture, science and technology,
as well as 20 editorial blogs. To engage our audience of “Ideas People” there is a series of
online debates, a bi-weekly poll on “What the world thinks”, and a conversation cloud so
users can easily find the topics of discussion that interest them.

The Economist App
The Economist app replicates the lean-back, immersive experience that readers get in
print. Readers are able to authenticate their existing print subscription, purchase a digital
subscription, buy single copies or read the free Editor’s Highlights. Although the editorial
is the same as the printed edition, the advertising is sold separately, and the iPad version
provides the ability for interactive features.

The Economist Magazine
The Economist was established in 1843 to take part in “a severe
contest between intelligence, which presses forward, and unworthy,
timid ignorance obstructing our progress.” Today The Economist
acts as a compass for “Ideas People” as they look for guidance in an
increasingly topsy-turvy international world.

3. Social Media Sites
The Economist’s success in print and digital is matched by its reach
across social platforms.

Definitions:
App Unique Device: Any unique device that has accessed an app during the period stated. App unique browsers may use consistent/persistent identifiers that are wholly or
partially based on identifiers (e.g. UID) and passed to the app by the device.
The Economist Online:
Worldwide Website Usage reported is for all browsers accessing The Economist website (as defined below). Regional website usage is reported only for browsers accessing The
Economist website from an IP address associated with geographic location of the regional edition.
Domains included in Web Activity : www.economist.com, jobs.economist.com, www.store.economist.com, and economistsquares.economist.com.
The Average Worldwide Duration per Visit calculation excludes 8,739,454 visits for which duration could not be measured due to only one request during a particular browser
session.
Definitions:
Page Impressions: The combination of one or more files presented to a viewer as a single document as a result of a single request received by the server.
Unique Browser: A unique and valid identifier. Sites may use (i) IP+User-Agent and/or (ii) Cookie. This metric measures each browser, it does not measure a person. Counting of
unique browsers may overstate or understate the number of individual devices concerned due to factors such as dynamic IP address allocation, significant levels of uniformity
in IP and browser combinations operating through a proxy, cookie blocking and deletion.
Visit: A series of interactions by a visitor with a site without 30 consecutive minutes of inactivity.
Visit Duration: The amount of time spent during a browser/visit measured from the first recorded transaction with the server until the last recorded transaction. Single page
visits are excluded from this calculation and no assumption is made of their duration or of the time spent on the last page of the visit.
Internal Page Impressions: Website activity that is generated by individuals with IP addresses known to be associated with the website. This activity is excluded from the report.
Nonqualifying Activity: Unsuccessful transfers of requested documents, as well as successful transfers of requested documents where evidence suggests that browsers were not
in use (i.e., a human was not viewing the page at the time of the request) are considered nonqualifying and have been deducted from the report.
