dniviE Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 The article does not, after what I know, a specific upper nor lower word limit. However, if the article is long it contains a lot (read: too much) of content and therefore you have to highlight the parts that you are using. It is advised to choose a short article with specific content that you can easily draw economic concepts and content out of it. Try to aim for an article that is between 200 and 400 words - those are usually the ones that have most specific content and only covers maybe one or two economic concepts. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Economist Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Even though that is a good suggestion, if you find a longer article you want to use and you are afraid its length might have an effect on your grade, I suggest you highlight (on the article) the main points you are going to use so that you help the moderator when/if they receive your commentaries. As the other use said though, aim for smaller articles. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
