Yes, I was thinking of the <em>Economist</em> when I wrote that. The print edition has Saturday's date on it, which, as it happens, is when it becomes available in Australia (if your newsagent is on the ball, at least). But it's on the streets in London on Thursday or Friday (can't remember which). Online it's available on Thursday. Presumably the Saturday is an historical relic? The news content of this issue of the <em>Spectator</em> seems to correlate best with what was being said on the dailies on 1 September, i.e. the Thursday. That doesn't help pin down when it was actually read by the public very much, though. Actually I think I could have squeezed another actually into that sentence!

I wonder if the web will make it easier or harder for future historians to work out what people knew on any particular day.
