Book of the Week: “The Future of Business Journalism: Why It Matters for Wall Street and Main Street” by Chris Roush

An eye-opening account of how the information gap in business journalism is eroding civic life and impacting the economy – and how we can fix it.

Business owners, consumers, and employees have long relied on the news to make financial decisions – what to buy, who to hire, and what products to sell. In the twenty-first century, that news has shifted. Only the big businesses and executives can afford expensive subscriptions, while most consumers and small business owners are left scrambling to find the news they need to succeed and thrive. The Future of Business Journalism explores how the field evolved into this divide and offers solutions on how business journalism can once again provide the stories and content that a broad society needs.
