A business is any kind of commercial venture that seeks to profit from the production and sale of goods or services. A business can be as simple as a one-person operation selling products at a craft fair or as complex as a multinational corporation that employs thousands of people.
Business news is the portion of journalistic coverage that focuses on commercial and economic activity. It is commonly published in newspapers and magazines, although online publications and broadcast media may also include a business news segment. News coverage of business-related events can range from local to global in scope. While many general news outlets may provide some coverage of business-related issues, specialized publications focused on particular industries or regional coverage may be more prevalent.
A large number of regional and national newspapers publish business news in print and online. Some of the most prominent are The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and The Financial Times. Other notable business news sources include the Reuters and Bloomberg. International business news can be found in the international editions of these publications and from other sources. The Library of Congress has a collection of both print and microform business news resources that are available to researchers in its Newspaper and Current Periodicals Room. If you have additional questions about business research, please feel free to ask a librarian.
