Business news is a type of journalism that covers the financial and economic activities in society. It can be found in a variety of media outlets, including newspapers, magazines and television. It is also common to find business news on the internet, especially websites dedicated to the subject matter. In general, business news focuses on the activities of corporations and enterprises in the marketplace.
A business is an organised commercial entity that operates for profit. It can be a sole proprietorship, partnership or corporation. In addition, it can be a non-profit organization that supports a charitable cause. In all cases, the primary goal is to earn a profit from the sale of goods and services. There are three main ways that a business can make money: generating sales, earning interest or dividends, and paying out earnings.
The first examples of business news were published around 1700 by Daniel Defoe, a writer famous for his novels like Robinson Crusoe. Later, journalists began to focus on the growing number of businesses in society. By 1900, the Wall Street Journal was established as one of the United States’ leading business publications. Today, many newspaper and magazine outlets include a business section.
