Two questions will always be going through my mind, Where in a typical innovation process do different kinds of business journalists usually show up? With innovation journalism in mind, where should they show up?
Before any further discussion, First of all, let’s remember a fundamental question that all journalists constantly must bear in mind: What are my readers interested in, what are they paying me to write about? When it comes to what we call business journalism, some readers are interested in consumer issues, some prefer reading about companies and deals, and others are looking for the cheapest stock or mutual fund. Most look for a little bit of all. It is also important to remember that different labels on journalism are in the head of the journalists, not in the head of the readers. No reader says “I prefer business journalism” or “I like culture journalism” or “I want to read innovation journalism”. They might, however, say “I prefer reading about innovation processes/business/culture”. And they all want the stories to be good journalism, “the collection, preparation, and distribution of news and related commentary and feature materials”. This is a definition that most people can agree with, and it is a definition that is valid for all journalistic beats.Business journalism isn’t the same in all business publications. In fact, at least three different kinds can be identified. In general, most papers and magazines with “business” as their niche try to cover all three of them but, nevertheless, they are all more or less officially devoted to primarily one of them. Do you agree with this statement of mine?
The three different business journalism variants, which I visualized in business environment, deal wit these three basic fundamental issues:
Job and consumer issues, Company issues, Stock market issues.
Seeming to have relevance only in these business domains, In reality, as well as in most publications, these three business journalism alignments are interconnected with each other. In the long run, no share price will climb and no staff will be hired if the company doesn’t show growth and profits. And profits, in the long rung, do not come without some sort of innovation.
I still want to ask that question to myself: “with innovation journalism in mind, how should business journalists act?”
