Progressive Business Journalism
Quartz editor-in-chief Katherine Bell Quartz recently penned a column arguing for a more progressive form of business journalism: “If we want a better, more inclusive economy, we need a new, more demanding form of business and economic journalism, one that questions the assumptions our organizations, industries, and economies are built on; investigates not only how the systems that govern them are working now, but how they might be improved; and prepares readers to take action to improve them. In other words, we need business journalism to be more progressive.”
Quartz’s current obsessions, being covered through a global lens, include:
- The climate economy
- Borders
- Rethinking cities
- Future of work
- Beyond Silicon Valley
