Business Journalism: A Critical Political Economy Approach

Autor Ibrahim Seaga Shaw
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 aug 2015
Business Journalism: A Critical Political Economy Approach critically explores the failures of business journalists in striking the balance between the bottom line business model and their role in defending the public interest.
Drawing on historical and political economic perspectives and analysing these in relation to critical political economic theory, the book explores failures of business journalism through the dwindling of social responsibility in the business journalist’s role in holding political and corporate power to account.
Ibrahim Seaga Shaw draws on a diverse range of case studies, including:
  • investigative journalism in The Standard Oil and Enron Scandals
  • corporate propaganda in relation to business reporting
  • financial Journalism and the global financial crises of the late-90s and 2008
  • public business journalism and subprime mortgage loans, horsemeat and bent iPhone 6 scandals
  • ethical challenges of business and journalism from developed to emerging BRICS economies
  • business or financial journalism? Modernity vs postmodernity, macroeconomics vs microeconomics
  • challenges of business journalism in the digital age.
Business Journalism: A Critical Political Economy Approach is essential reading for students and scholars interested in understanding the historical failings and potential futures for business journalism and those wishing to develop specialist financial, economic and business reporting in today’s globalised media landscape.

Recenzii

The experience is that many of the NCTJ accredited courses are mostly vocationally driven and do not tend to encourage their students to buy these type of texts. I would instead explore other markets such as business schools and media departments that tend to be overall more academically driven. I think the book can sell well, but the marketing strategy needs to consider wider markets. – Jairo Lugo-Ocando, University of Sheffield, UK
There are several other textbooks available about financial journalism, but none offers the philosophic context this book proposes... I teach [...] a course entitled Reporting on the Economy each winter [...] I can imagine using all or part of this book for the Economy class. – Pam Luecke, Washington and Lee University, USA
This book definitely is useful for my students to understand the complex world of business journalism and how they can better prepare themselves should they choose a career in business journalism. The book’s global perspectives would make it popular with students other than those from Britain.– Victor Fung, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong
