Economics

In the twenty-first century, business news has shifted its focus from local coverage to national news. In The Future of Business Journalism, Chris Roush shows the causes of this recent divide, its impact on local businesses, and how the field can once again provide the content a broad society needs to make informed financial decisions.

The Future of Business Journalism: Why It Matters for Wall Street and Main Street

Georgetown University Press

Recognizing the historical importance of business news in America's journalistic past, this book asserts that current social attitudes were set in place by 20th-century reporting on finance, business trends, markets, unemployment, governmental economic policy, corporate malfeasance, and—perhaps most important—the consumer. According to this analysis, breakthroughs in automobile safety, food and drug regulation, and public health were brought about by the scrutiny of the national press, and news coverage of the business response to problems of pollution, energy, and global trade remains critical to debates of the future.
