Recenzii

"This elegantly conceived and meticulously executed collection scores a palpable double hit: deepening our understanding of financial crises and transforming our knowledge of financial journalism. Above all it marks a historiographical step-change through its sophisticated reading across the last two centuries of that elusive but symbiotic relationship between the ‘actors’ (whether individuals or markets) and their interpreters in the media. To anyone seriously interested in financial matters, this is a mandatory text."
David Kynaston, professional historian and author of The Financial Times: A Centenary History
"This is a cogent and multidimensional examination of business and financial reporting during times of economic crises and commercial fiascos. It provides insightful and integrated analysis of the roles, quandaries and performance of media during economic shocks across the past two centuries and is a compelling appraisal of how media cover and influence economic, financial, and commercial activities and public responses."
Robert G. Picard, Reuters Institute, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Oxford
"The media and the financial sectors are both criticised for being over-powerful and lacking public accountability. This collection of essays - from some of the most knowledgeable academics with experience of both fields - tackles that issue head-on and is essential reading for anyone interested in the role and effectiveness of business journalism."
Richard Sambrook, Professor of Journalism and Director of the Centre for Journalism, Cardiff University
