A business is an organisation that creates value for customers and seeks profits. It is an economic entity that can be privately or publicly owned, and it can range in size from a small sole proprietorship to massive corporations. In general, businesses involve the buying and selling of goods or services and may employ a range of employees to help run the business. Business is the core of the economy and drives globalisation, entrepreneurship, innovation, competition, risk-taking and adaptation.
What is business news?
Business news is a type of journalism that covers economic and financial topics. It can be found across a range of media, including newspapers, radio, television and the internet. Business news can be about anything from stock market trends to the latest public interest story about a large corporation.
While it can be difficult to determine the exact origin of business news, there is some evidence that it began in the 1500s when German families published newsletters containing information about trades. This marked the first time that business information was disseminated to a mass audience.
The 1700s saw the introduction of dedicated business sections in major newspapers in England and America. These sections contained detailed information about financial markets, such as the stock market, and about how local and international events could affect businesses.
This was a time when the industrial revolution was beginning to take hold, and it was important for people to keep up with the latest business news in order to make informed decisions about their investments and businesses. In addition, this was when many large corporations started to emerge and become household names.
In the modern day, business news is still a very popular and well-read genre of news. It is a key part of the public discourse and helps to shape political, social and economic policy. It also plays a critical role in keeping the world’s leaders accountable and telling stories about justice and fairness that help to reinforce societal values.
