> Unfortunately I did notice a bit of a slide in quality as The Economist started adopting the "shove our opinion down your throat" editorial style that's super common online.

Is the Economist still publishing a print edition? Barnes and Noble hasn't had a new issue since mid-July.

I cancelled my subscription a while ago, but it appears the print edition is still being advertised online: https://subscribenow.economist.com/summersale/

Twice a year, during the summer and around xmas, they ship a really thick issue with lots of extra articles and then take a few weeks off. Perhaps this is their summer break?
