The Economist is known for its writing style, described as “simplify, then exaggerate” by former deputy editor Clive Crook. Though Pearson’s 50 percent stake in the business publication has been put up for sale, Ravi Somaiya writes that a sale would be unlikely to alter that voice. Former editor Chris Anderson says the style is a product of its culture, which encourages debate: “I’ve never seen more of an intellectual meritocracy. It was a classic example of sink or swim. How did people end up with The Economist voice? That’s it right there.”
