'''Business journalism''' is the part of [[journalism]] that tracks, records, analyzes and interprets the [[business sector|business]], [[Economy|economic]] and [[finance|financial]] activities and changes that take place in societies. [[wikt:topic|Topic]]s widely cover the entire purview of all [[commerce|commercial]] [[economic activity|activities]] related to the [[economy]].

This area of journalism provides news and feature [[Article (publishing)|articles]] about people, places and issues related to the [[business sector]]. Most{{quantify|date=February 2018}} newspapers, magazines, radio, and television-news shows include a business segment. Detailed and in-depth business journalism may appear in publications, radio, and television channels dedicated specifically to business and financial journalism.

== History ==
Business journalism began as early as the [[Middle Ages]], to help well-known trading families communicate with each other.<ref name=history>{{cite web |url=http://www.bizjournalismhistory.org/main_frame.htm |title=main_frame.htm |work=History of Business Journalism |publisher=Carolina Business News Initiative, [[University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Journalism and Mass Communication]] |access-date=24 August 2011}}</ref>

Around 1700, [[Daniel Defoe]]—best known for his novels especially ''Robinson Crusoe''—began publishing business and economic news.<ref>Margarett A. James, and Dorothy F. Tucker. "Daniel Defoe, Journalist." ''Business History Review'' 2.1 (1928): 2-6.</ref> In 1882 [[Charles Dow]], [[Edward Jones (statistician)|Edward Jones]] and Charles Bergstresser began a wire service that delivered news to investment houses along Wall Street.<ref name=history/> And in 1889, ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'' began publishing.<ref name=history/> While the famous muckraking journalist [[Ida Tarbell]] did not consider herself to be a business reporter, her reporting and writing about the [[Standard Oil|Standard Oil Co.]] in 1902 provided the template for how thousands of business journalists have covered companies ever since.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://businessjournalism.org/pages/biz/2008/05/taking_on_the_trust/ |title=Book Reviews: Taking on the Trust |last1=Roush |first1=Chris |date=May 2008 |publisher=BusinessJournalism.org |access-date=24 August 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120708010519/http://businessjournalism.org/pages/biz/2008/05/taking_on_the_trust/ |archive-date=8 July 2012 }}</ref> Business coverage gained prominence in the 1990s, with wider investment in the [[stock market]]. ''The Wall Street Journal'' is one prominent example of business journalism, and is among the [[United States|United States of America]]'s top newspapers in terms of both [[Newspaper circulation|circulation]] and respect for the [[journalist]]s whose work appears there.

== Personnel ==
Journalists who work in this branch are classed as "business journalists". Their main task is to gather information about current events as they related to business. They may also cover processes, trends, consequences, and important people, in business and disseminate their work through all types of mass media.

== Scope ==
Business journalism, although common in most [[Developed country|industrialized countries]], has a very limited role in [[Third World|third-world]] and [[Developing country|developing countries]]. This leaves citizens of such countries in a very disadvantaged position locally and internationally.{{Citation needed|date=April 2012}} Recent efforts to bring business media to these countries have proven to be worthwhile.<ref>{{cite journal |url=http://www.inwent.org/ez/articles/191013/index.en.shtml |title=Enlightening entrepreneurs |last1=Luesby |first1=Jenny |date=February 2011 |at=Focus, Page 62 |journal=D+C Development and Cooperation |volume=52 |number=2 |publisher=[[Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit]] (GIZ) |access-date=25 August 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110809030853/http://www.inwent.org/ez/articles/191013/index.en.shtml |archive-date=9 August 2011 }}</ref>
