PressReader renews its agreement with The Economist and expands access to corporate and government institutions in new regions

Existing agreement renewed for five years, while corporate and government institutions across select regions can now access the title through PressReader’s digital platform

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PressReader, the world’s leading digital platform for newspapers, magazines, books and more, today announced the renewal and expansion of its agreement with The Economist.

The existing agreement, which makes PressReader the exclusive provider of the digital replica edition of The Economist for public libraries, hotels, healthcare facilities and transportation companies, has been renewed for a further five years.

Meanwhile, an expansion to the agreement makes the title available to corporate and government institutions across Latin America, Asia-Pacific and Africa for the first time. For government institutions in these regions, PressReader is the exclusive provider of the digital replica edition.

The expanded access means corporate and government institutions in these regions can now provide their teams with seamless access to The Economist alongside thousands of other trusted newspapers and magazines from around the world, including The Guardian, Foreign Affairs Magazine and Le Figaro, to support research, strategic planning and confident decision-making.

“The Economist is one of the most trusted and sought-after sources of global insight and analysis in the world,” said Ruairí Doyle, CEO of PressReader. “We’re delighted to renew our existing agreement. Plus, by making this exceptional journalism available to corporate and government institutions in new regions, alongside thousands of other quality publications, we’re empowering more teams to stay abreast of current global affairs and make informed, balanced decisions.”

Like other titles in PressReader’s catalog, The Economist is available as a full digital replica edition, preserving its cover-to-cover experience with original images, layout and editorial context. New issues are available immediately on the PressReader platform and can be accessed on a user’s preferred device, anytime and anywhere.
