This is kind of a meta-story, or even advertisement (although very good advertisement). Publishing it in-between their usual content would raise a few ethical questions.
It'd also be a bit useless to tell readers of the Economist how great they are, and, as long as they can't get it printed in the NYT or similar, Medium probably is the best place to reach their potential market.

"It’s a place for our engaged, smart Medium audience to interact with our journalists, get involved with news gathering and research, browse a carefully curated blend of original and archive pieces, and get a glimpse of the unsung work that goes into The Economist."

#5This is a self propaganda piece from a magazine that has been a mixed bag, decent and dumb journalism:" The Economist magazine is getting dumber and dumber: it unearthed "evidence" of Russian intervention in Reagan's election
"In November 1984 the Kremlin tried to stop Ronald Reagan from being re-elected. As part of its active-measures programme, Moscow promoted the slogan “Reagan Means War!” To discredit him, Russia propagated stories about Reagan’s militaristic adventurism, rising tensions among NATO allies, discrimination against ethnic minorities and corruption." What? That those who opposed Reagan around the world, and those who raised the plight of ethnic and racial minorities in the US were doing the Russian bidding? And what is your evidence of what "Moscow promoted". Let us put it this way, if this is the manner of Russian intervention in US elections, it really is insignificant compared to US heavy-handed intervention in elections in every country in the globe--except Israel (and even there, Clinton tried to help the Labor Party). https://angryarab.blogspot.ae/2016/12/the-economist-magazine...

They've written articles about themselves on their regular website before, though under one of their blogs.

#7I've always found the answer to this to be - thinly, superficially, and with poor dead prose.
I've never understood how they managed to cultivate the image they seem to have created.

No, they did not say that those doing what Russia wanted done were necessarily doing it 'at Russia's bidding'. Yes America does also sometimes try to influence political discourse in other countries too, did TE say otherwise? Finally, are you claiming that Russia does not try to influence politics in other countries? The point is, what methods are used and are they legitimate.

#10When I subscribed to the Economist I liked that they have interesting reporting from all kinds of countries that are not currently topical.
