Business & Economics Reporting

Becoming a Business Journalist
This is an exciting time to consider a career in business journalism. The launch of new magazines, websites and even a new cable channel is creating an opportunity for fresh coverage – and new jobs.

This is also a fascinating time to be covering the business world. Globalization and the Internet are transforming virtually every industry, forcing business executives to rethink their business plans and experiment with new management styles. Understanding how these forces shape the economy and interpreting the ways that executives and companies try to survive these sweeping changes is the staple of business journalism.

Our Program
Some business journalism programs emphasize the courses you can take at their affiliated business schools. We prefer to teach business concepts in a journalistic context. Here, you will learn about business with practicing business journalists whose real-world experiences inform what you need to know and how you should apply it. Read More »

Who Leads Our Program
