AY2016/2017 Semester 2
This course introduces the business and economic beat, preparing students for entry-level reporting jobs on the business desks of newspapers, magazines and wires. It is partly a conceptual course, covering the macro-economy, markets, and companies, and providing a grounding in the concepts and tools required to understand, analyse and interpret the kinds of information that business/economic journalists deal with. It is also a practical course, with discussions focusing on current events, and assignments requiring students to report and write news stories and features within the business/economics beat.
