Economic growth is the engine of the business world, creating jobs, spurring investment, leaping across national borders. Journalists need to know where to find and how to assess reliable data. This involves obtaining economic reports from the government and others and learning how to read them critically. Students also learn to keep reports in perspective and how to take steps to ensure that various points of view (corporate, labor, investors) are represented. The course also provides a study of influential economists and why they are influential.
