Summary:

"Business owners, consumers and employees have relied, either directly or indirectly, on business news and information for centuries to make financial decisions - what to buy, who to hire, what products to produce. And that news and information has primarily come from various forms of media. But in the 21st century, that news and information has shifted to primarily provide content to only the big businesses and executives who can afford it 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"-- Provided by publisher.
