Business news is the part of journalism that records, analyzes, and interprets the economic and financial activities and changes in society. It includes a wide range of topics from the overall economy to specific industries, markets, and companies. This branch of news gathers and disseminates information to the public via any medium such as newspaper, television, radio, and internet. Business journalists are known as business reporters or business writers.
A business is an organized activity involving the production or purchase of goods and services for the purpose of profit. It may also be a not-for-profit organisation that returns any profit to its owners, or it may be a publicly-traded company listed on a stock market. Some businesses have a single product offering while others offer multiple products or services to their customers. Businesses can be large operations spanning multiple countries and industries, or they can be small businesses focused on serving local markets.
