The Financial Review is a bi-weekly newsmagazine, first published as a newspaper in Georgetown in 1892, that originally focused solely on business and financial news. Since the early twentieth century, however, the publication has steadily increased its purview to include politics – both domestic and international – as well as cultural affairs, especially literary criticisms. The magazine is owned by the Ridley Group plc and published in Imperium, although in recent years the magazine has expanded its printing centres to Queensbury, Regal, Providence, and most recently Avinapolis.
In years past, the magazine took a hard, critical line on the Democratic Socialist Party of Azazia (now Oceania) in parallel to the magazine’s conservative economic position. Since the late 1990s, however, the magazine has come to be seen by many as a supporter of the ‘new’ DSP led by the Marquess of Salisbury, who favours deregulation and privatization. Interestingly, the Financial Review remains critical of the government’s continuing support through tax dollars of the Kingdom Broadcasting Corporation.
Another recent change to the magazine is its switch from a weekly publication to a bi-weekly publication. The change highlights the Financial Review’s broadening of its subject matter. Originally, editions were published on Monday mornings to coincide with the start of the business week; however since 2003 the magazine has published a second edition on Thursday evenings that includes most of the cultural, artistic, and literary minded affairs – with appropriate articles on financial and political news if deemed important enough by the staff.
