Business news is the area of journalism that covers information about businesses, corporations, and the economy. It is distinct from other types of journalism, such as investigative reporting and political coverage. Many newspapers, magazines, radio, and television networks include a business section. The Wall Street Journal is one of the best-known examples of business journalism. Business news is essential to corporate reputation because it affects how people perceive a company.

When business isn’t going well, it can be tempting to blame the people at the top for everything that went wrong. Personal greed, insufficient scrutiny of corporate affairs, an insensitivity or indifference to public opinion: all these could be used as accusations against some business leaders. But the truth is that most business leaders have been doing what they believe to be right, what their investors and shareholders expect them to do, and what their legal obligations require.

Few businesses have a perfect track record. However, that shouldn’t be an excuse to slap the industry with excessive regulation. Instead, we need to ensure that we’re putting in place the structures that will encourage responsible and sustainable business practices. This will allow us to benefit from the economic growth that business is capable of while limiting the damage done to society and the environment.
