The Economist has redesigned its magazine-format newspaper, the first major changes to its publication since 2001.
The new look — led by The Economist’s art director Stephen Petch and the in-house graphics team — was created “to align the flagship print edition’s look and feel with the rest of The Economist’s product line,” including its website, apps and 1843 magazine.
“With these design changes and new additions, our print edition now matches the broader Economist product family — one uniform, clean and modern design, setting up The Economist for the 2020s and beyond,” stated Phil Kenny, the publication’s head of graphics.
The print issue is also getting a new, one-page section, called “Graphic Detail,” which replaces one of the two pages dedicated to the “Economic and Financial Indicators” section.
