Business news is the area of journalism that tracks, records and analyzes commercial activities and changes in economic conditions. This information is primarily found in newspapers, magazines and radio/TV news programs. Business news also encompasses the information on stocks and investments.
A business is any entity that seeks to profit from an activity, whether that activity is providing goods or services, importing or exporting, or manufacturing and selling products. Businesses can be as small as a home-based ice cream shop or as large as the multinational corporations like Apple and Google. The term ‘business’ can be broadened to include not just the profit-seeking activities but also any trading or barter-style trades, such as swapping one good for another.
The earliest business journalism in the United States dates back to the 1700s, when newspapers began publishing ‘price currents’ and other information about ships entering and leaving ports. These types of articles later grew into the full range of business and financial coverage now seen in today’s newspapers and websites. The famous muckraking journalist Ida Tarbell’s work on Standard Oil in 1902 helped to spur on more detailed and accurate business reporting, leading to the formation of many professional organizations that track business and economic trends.
