Editorial plan
The Economist's special reports are focused editorial reports offering readers in-depth, forward-looking analysis of a particular topic. They offer advertisers the opportunity to maximise impact with a long-lasting advertisement in a medium which is kept for reference. Research demonstrates that advertisements in editorial special report sections are more likely to be seen and read (MediaPlus Research Ltd 2003).
Advertising in a special report section not only increases the attention readers pay to advertisements but also increases the number of readers exposed to that advertising. Special reports cause an uplift in circulation as less regular readers of The Economist buy that special issue to read about a topic of definite interest to them.
Date and titles are subject to change. Please note: earliest on-sale date is Friday prior to issue date.
