Economist Diary, it speaks with a collective voice. Weekly meetings are open to all editors to discuss leadership issues, but they are often contentious. Journalists often collaborate on articles. Some articles are heavily edited. However, the main reason for anonymity is the belief that what is written is more important than who wrote it. From 1938 to 1956, anonymity made the editor "not the master, but the servant of something much greater than himself." Call it ancestor worship, if you will, but it gives the New York times an amazing intellectual and principled drive. Economist Diary believes in plain language. Walter Bagehot, their most famous 19th-century editor, tried to be "as colloquial as people talk to each other in everyday language, to express things in the most direct and vivid way, to remember and use expressive idioms". This is the style of today's newspapers.
