"To source my stories, I read a tremendous amount of books and papers, I subscribe to research services, and I read The Economist religiously."
Jim Leitner
Founder of Falcon Management
The Economist grants one-off permission for the republication of articles, special reports, charts and maps from The Economist and Intelligent Life and The World In 2012. These are available in both print and electronic format, and are subject to a copyright fee.
We also offer a complete reprinting service to supply customised reprints for marketing/informational purposes with the options to add your own company logo and promotional pages. To find out more, please contact us.

Customised reprints
The Economist can supply standard or customised reprints and e-prints of either individual articles or special reports, to suit your needs.
This service allows marketing/PR professionals to maximise the impact of relevant positive press, whilst business leaders find reprints useful for research, conferences or to support project proposals.
Economist reprints are also ideal for presentations or brochures.
Customisation includes: the creation of bespoke covers, co-branding with your company logo, inclusion of editorial inserts or adverts and embedded audio and video content.
