Simplifying the terms and phrases that make business reporting difficult, this book offers a comprehensive introduction to essential financial and business language for journalists.
Key Terms for Business Journalism examines the meaning, application, and impact of over 2,000 terms and abbreviations that journalists may encounter in corporate documents, regulatory filings, government reports, and press releases. The authors explain not just how to understand concepts, but also when and how to use them and how to help audiences understand them. This book, previously published as
The SABEW Stylebook, has been thoroughly overhauled in its third edition and includes many new definitions, from cryptocurrency to financial contagion, as well as more detailed entries for concepts such as tariffs, economies, international trade, and the Federal Reserve. Guidance on ethical and legal issues, company names, trademarks, punctuation, and capitalization are also covered.
This book is a unique resource for financial journalists, business communicators, and journalism students alike.
