Business news is the reporting and dissemination of information regarding commercial and industrial activities. This form of journalism focuses on companies, products, services and market trends and can be found in newspapers, magazines, radio, television broadcasts and online. Topics include company performance, product launches, financial trends and updates, mergers and acquisitions, stock market fluctuations and more.
The word business is derived from the Latin “busy” meaning to be active. Essentially businesses are organisations that engage in exchanges of goods and/or services to generate profit. Profit is usually re-invested back into the business to expand operations or further develop products and/or services. Some businesses may also be non-profit organisations that aim to fulfil a particular social goal (e.g. reducing child poverty).
In terms of market trends and information, business news can provide insight into consumer spending habits as well as economic indicators such as GDP and inflation. It can also report on regulatory changes and political events that could impact the business environment.
For individuals, business news can be useful in forming investment strategies. It can also inform individuals about new products and/or services that might interest them. This type of news is often delivered through digital platforms such as websites, blogs and email.
