Business news covers the activities of businesses and the economy. These stories often include the stock market, company acquisitions and mergers, new product launches, and other financial and corporate information. Business news is also known as economic news and is published by a variety of media outlets, including newspapers, magazines, and online publications. The Wall Street Journal is one of the most respected sources for business news in the United States.
A business is an organization that exchanges goods and services for money. A business may be private, government-owned, or not-for-profit. Some large businesses are publicly owned and listed on the stock exchange, making them accessible to all shareholders. In addition to pursuing profit, businesses often have social or environmental goals that they work toward.
The term business can refer to any activity or enterprise, whether it is a sole proprietorship, partnership, or corporation. It can also encompass a profession, such as law or medicine. Business can be a source of income or a means of recreation, but it is also considered a career path. A successful business can be a source of pride and prestige.
