This is THE best answer of the evening. :)

I was the Richard Casement intern at the Economist last year. I saw that journalists at the paper worked normal hours (9 to 6ish). But there was no one keeping time. People came in and left whenever they wanted. The office was open 24 hours.

I know many who worked from home many times. My boss (science & tech editor) works from home 2 days every week (not counting the weekend of course).

I found the word nagwall good, too. Although that would not be one that The Economist would like to use.

I've never heard of The Economist's book library. They definitely don't do it now.

One good way to judge this for yourself is to read the Letters page of The Economist. You will realise soon that many people higher up in the decision-making hierarchy read the paper.
