WHERE THEORY MEETS PRACTICE: Practitioner Tips for Better Economic Journalism

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Having provided context for the academic interrogation and analysis of economic journalism output, here we give broad and accessible advice to students and practitioners who want to improve the quality of their work. We highlight common pitfalls of economic journalism output and provide a number of simple checklists by which practitioners and students can self-assess and interrogate their own work and make more effective use of their resources. Section 1 outlines what good economics journalism practice should follow in terms of reporting, before going on, in Section 2, to discuss how issues such as an awareness of pluralism in economic theory and thought and an awareness of ideological issues and the broader political economy should underline the approach to economic journalism practice.
