In the past decade the magazine has made a lot of strides in the U.S. market, to the point where The Economist is read by four times as many people here as in the U.K. Does that change how you position the magazine?

No, because I don't think you should pander to your readers. If The Economist started catering to an American view of things, we would lose our readers elsewhere. Often what happens is that in America we get depicted as pro-European, and in Europe we get depicted as pro-American. But once you start thinking too much about who's reading you where -- particularly when you have so many readers in as many places as we do -- you could get yourself into a horrific muddle. We always respect our readers from everywhere, but you cannot design your package around them.
