What is business news?

Business journalism reports on numerous aspects related to the corporate world, of interest to the general reader, but essential for business owners, investors and stakeholders to make informed decisions. This can include insight into company and industry performance, new products and services, economic trends, mergers and acquisitions, stock market updates, executive changes, and legislative and budgetary changes. Traditionally, this was covered in newspapers and magazines, but is increasingly extending to websites and other forms of media.
