'The Economist' To Halt Production For Month To Let Readers Catch Up
April 19, 2011 | ISSUE 47.16 <http://www.theonion.com/issue/4716/>

LONDON---World-renowned news and opinion magazine /The Economist/
announced plans to suspend any new online and print content for the next
month in an effort to finally allow subscribers a chance to catch up.
"It's only fair to our readers," said /Economist/ editor Winthrop
Parker, adding that there was no reason for subscribers to feel ashamed
for not necessarily knowing every last detail about the current economic
and geopolitical climate. "Even just scanning over some of the feature
stories can sometimes take two or three daily bus commutes to finish.
After all, some of these issues have as many words in them as a short
novel. No one should be expected to do that in one week." In related
news, /ESPN The Magazine/ announced Monday it would be suspending
publication indefinitely until its readers learned to read.
