A while back I subscribed for The Economist on a whim. I'm not really into economics, but I felt they provided a nice alternative view of what was going on elsewhere in the world compared to what the local news here in Norway reported.

One thing I quickly noticed was that the articles were never signed by the authors directly. I found this striking, but also refreshing. It caused me to pay more attention to what was said. And, as I later found out, that seems to be the main intention[1]:

The main reason for anonymity, however, is a belief that what is written is more important than who writes it. In the words of Geoffrey Crowther, our editor from 1938 to 1956, anonymity keeps the editor "not the master but the servant of something far greater than himself…it gives to the paper an astonishing momentum of thought and principle."
